Delegates at the BMA's annual conference mandated the union to 'achieve pay restoration to 2008 value for its members within the next five years'.
Consultant Dr Eleanor Draeger said that she was a single parent who was “struggling to survive” on her salary.
A motion passed at the annual meeting in Brighton called on governments to put in place a workforce plan and “take the money that is destined to pay the private sector to do NHS work and invests it in expanding the capacity of the NHS”. Commenting on the workforce motion, Dr David Wrigley, deputy chair of the BMA council, said: “Even before the pandemic the length of time people were waiting for the care they needed was too high. But following the huge disruption and added pressure Covid-19 placed on the UK’s health services, waiting lists have now gone up to a perilous level.
