Resident doctors’ strike undermines union movement, Wes Streeting says | Doctors

A strike of the resident doctors uzak It weakens the entire union movement to a great extent ”, Wes Streeting called on them not to participate in the industrial action on Friday morning.

In an article for the Guardian, the Health Secretary, the British Medical Association (BMA), 2023-24 and 2024-25, including a 22% wage increase immediately after the decision to push new strikes in the UK was unreasonable and similar.

Streeting, which has previously represented medical officers known as young doctors, condemns its demands for a new increase of 29% over the next few years. While there is 90% support for the strike, he says that more than 55% of the members is in the participation.

Streeting, a wage increase of 5.4% for 2025-26 after the proposal of the strike movement was hurried and “painful disappointment” because of efforts to improve NHS services, “he said.

“There was an agreement here, or he writes. “Instead, the decision of the BMA leadership not not to even think of postpone these strikes will bring an enormous burden to his colleagues and hit the improvement that we can see our health service.

“Not only that, it weakens the entire union movement to a great extent. No union in British history did not see that its members received such an upright wage increase to respond only with strikes – even when the majority of their members did not vote for the strike.

BMA claims that the wages of resident doctors have fallen much more than the rest of the population since 2008-09. “Doctors are not less worth it than 17 years ago, when the aricing policies began to reduce wages. We just want this value to be restored,” he said.

Streeting, resident doctors, in the decision to express the horrors in the decision to express the horrors of the “BMA’s leaders not only with patients, but mostly resident doctors feel that they do not locked with him,” he said.

The Health Secretary invites to challenge the doctors’ association and not to participate in the strike that lasted until 7 am on Wednesday.

“I urge resident doctors not to follow the BMA leadership, which I do not believe that their members represent the best interests of their members, the strikes start at 7 am on Friday at 7 am.”

The public is asked to stand out for NHS care during the strike, and NHS UK called on the chief managers of the hospital to hold routine operations and appointments, and was re -planned if there was a risk for patient safety.

Health and Social Care Department blog After learning the lessons from the previous strikes, NHS said that it adopted a different approach ”and would avoid canceling appointments planned for diseases such as cancer, because it created“ a risk for patients ”.

On Wednesday, the Academy of Medicine Royal Colleges called on BMA to suspend the guidance that they do not have to share their intention to strike with their employers – such as labor law rights to ensure that hospitals make better plan.

In previous strikes, it is understood that health leaders have filled the route gaps of unknown size with excessive estimated and cancellation procedures, since there is no inadequate work for over -paid consultants.

After providing a smaller task on the strike ballot, BMA is expected to go to strike less than the previous industrial action that started in 2023. 55% out of 48,000 members voted, 90% of them supported the industrial action representing less than half of the members – a 71.25% participation in 2023, 43,440 (or 98.37%) continued the strike.

The number of stunning doctors is expected to vary between the expected personnel route gaps and hospitals and confidences, locally filled by consultants, agency doctors and other NHS personnel.

If the hospital leaders will monitor the request and are overwhelmed by patients, they will have emergency plans, for example, to cancel some appointments, to prioritize emergency and emergency care, to call or request extra bank or agency personnel – with BMA.

The Journal of Health Services (HSJ), NHS UK Chief Sir Jim Mackey’s confidence leaders, delighted shifts with the ability to make money by the resident doctors during the strike said to destroy the ability to earn money.
