The BMA and Wes Streeting are poles apart, with the union committed to full pay restoration and the health secretary adamant there is no money for that
Civil service cuts had nothing to do with paying doctors. The 2 events were years apart in announment.
And austerity was very much a government choice. One you are welcome to agree with. But it being the only option was an out right lie. And it funded huge cuts in corperation taxes etc. Not the NHS.
As for above inflation. Only if you totally ignore 14 years of no or below inflation pay rises. Is it in anyway possible to say the last one was above the recent yearly inflation.
Sorry but rubbish.
