Badenoch says Conservatives would ban strikes by NHS doctors
Kemi Badenoch said that conservatives would ban strikes by all NHS doctors when they return to power.
The Tora leader said that his party would bring legislation for minimum service levels and prevent widespread industrial doctors and put them under the restrictions valid for police officers and soldiers.
Thousands of resident doctors, former doctors, the Government and the British Medical Association (BMA) could not reach an agreement on a salary after a five -day strike on Friday.
The previous government enacted a law requiring minimum levels of service in certain sectors, including some health services, but was taken into consideration only for doctors.
The only person who is legally prohibited from going on strike in the UK is the members of the police force and the armed forces-non-Slaah members. Doctors have the same strike with other employees in the public or private sectors.
Despite an average wage increase of an average of 5.4% this year, BMA says that after an increase of 22% in the last two years, the wage has fallen fifth since 2008 after the inflation has been taken into consideration.
The Union says that a 26% wage increase is necessary to revers the real term wage drop.
However, Badeonch, who announced his policy on Sunday, accused the union of being a “more militant” and added that the salary risled doctors have previously taken by the installed doctors.
“Doctors do incredibly important things. Medicine is not just a job, not a job. So we have presented a fair agreement in the government that supports doctors and also protects taxpayers.” He said.
“Therefore, conservatives, patients and public financial suggestions to protect public financial suggestions.
“We make an offer about national interest – we will work with the government to face the BMA to protect patients and NHS.”
Before the beginning of the strike action, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said that the government would “not allow BMA to ransom the country” and that The deterioration in NHS will be kept at a minimum.
NHS England ordered hospitals to cancel non -emergency studies only in exceptional cases.
An official figure has not yet been published on the effect of the latest strike. Some hospitals are still done with senior doctors covering more than 80% of non -emergency studies, including resident doctors.
However, several patients told about the planned BBC operations during and around the strike. canceled or postponed.
The conservative party claims that the proposed changes will make Britain compatible with other nations in the world, such as Australia and Canada, which are much more strict restrictions in industrial action.
Greece, Italy and Portugal, such as others in health services, have minimum levels of service levels.
BBC approached the worker and BMA to comment on Badenoch’s suggestions.
