With appointments and operations cancelled, the cost of the strikes at LancsHospitals is laid bare 🏥
incomes are driven by the volume of activity – such as operations and procedures – that they carry out. Their capacity for that work is slashed on strike days – with around 200,000 appointments and pre-planned procedures cancelled nationwide during the junior doctors’ walkout in April.
British Medical Association members are due to down tools again for 72 hours from 14th June in their ongoing dispute with the government over pay. They want a 35 percent increase to compensate for what they claim is a 26 percent reduction in wages in real terms since 2008. The government has previously described that demand as “unreasonable” and offered five percent.
“I suspect a lot of this is going to depend on the number of strikes that now take place through the summer and into the winter. If it continues, there will come a point where it’s going to be nigh-on impossible to pull it all back. “But when the government refuses to offer us anything more than a five percent consolidated offer when we’re trying to make up for a real terms pay cut of more than 26 percent, it shows they either do not understand the problem, or do not care. The undervaluing of doctors over the last 15 years is driving doctors away and leading the remaining to question their future in the NHS.”
