Resident Doctors in Scotland Plan Strike
Resident doctors in Scotland are considering strike action due to a pay offer from the Scottish government that falls below the recommendation of the pay review body.
The British Medical Association (BMA) Scotland announced that the Scottish government has "shamefully reneged" on a previous pay agreement, prompting the BMA Scottish resident doctors committee to enter into formal dispute and plan a ballot on industrial action.
The Scottish Government agreed to make 'credible progress' towards pay restoration in each of the following years.
In 2023, a deal was made to avoid strike action in Scotland, unlike in other UK countries where resident doctors held multiple walk-outs, causing major disruptions in health services.
Author's summary: Scottish resident doctors may strike over pay.
- Pay offer below pay review body recommendation
