The NHS is ‘in danger of complete collapse’ according to leading doctors deeply concerned that nearly half of senior medics plan to leave the NHS within 12 months.
The BMA took aim at ‘punitive’ rules on pension taxation which it says has led to a tripling of doctors taking early retirement in the last 13 years.The organisation’s consultants committee chair, Dr Vishal Sharma, said: ‘The NHS is already at breaking point and cannot afford to lose any of its staff, never mind facing the prospect of losing nearly half of its most senior doctors.
‘After years of demoralising real-terms pay cuts and chronic staffing shortages, the NHS and its staff are on their knees. ‘The Government must urgently demonstrate that it values the medical workforce by taking steps to restore doctors’ pay.’ Dr Sharma continued: ‘The goodwill of staff upon which the NHS depends has all but dried up. Without immediate action, the NHS is in danger of complete collapse.
‘Our hospitals are full with patients left in corridors for hours and sometimes even days; ambulances are frequently unable to attend to emergencies in the community as they are stuck waiting to offload patients to emergency departments that are unable to take them; patients are waiting months and even years to access the treatment that they need with many more suffering in silence that haven’t yet made it on to a waiting list.
