@SteveBarclay Doctor’s pay has been eroded by 26% in real terms since 2008. A 35% increase simply restores it to where it should have been if you hadn’t passed on the brunt of austerity to us whilst at the same time ensured your own pay matched inflation.

The “just to let you know” call is (in my opinion) poor practice. Either a referral is requested or not, at the discretion of the referring clinician. It is inappropriate to expect the ICU team to “be aware” of numerous patients across an acute hospital.

@DHSCgovuk Hiya lads, glad to see my tax £ going to good use. Now, how much does an MP earn? Not including side-earnings, of course. MP’s pay has also kept up with inflation. The BMA’s 35% comes to *restore* our pay if the government hadn’t imposed austerity measures upon us.
