    I think it’s a difficult sell to the public, especially when the numbers (RPI) driving the BMAs claims is flawed. I’m all for better paid doctors but they just got a pay rise 10x better than almost all other public sector workers last year and now they want the same again the next year?

      It’s a difficult sell because it’s unreasonable.

      Doctors get paid vastly more than most of the public (I’m both the private and public sectors), including the healthcare workers whose labour supports them in their work.

      Has anyone seen a rise in wages which is equivalent to the increase in inflation?
