Junior doctors on £14-an-hour as poor pay revealed and Tories refuse to start talks

The Daily Mirror says Junior doctors are being paid as little as £14 an hour to carry out vital operations, a campaign reveals.

As medics today begin a four-day strike, The British Medical Association exposes the shocking truth about wages.

It said: “Is this a fair price to provide patients with high-quality healthcare?”

In a poll, most back the strikes. But the Tories still refuse to hold pay talks.

The government has been accused of providing high quality health care on the cheap by doctors whose real-term pay has been slashed by years of cuts.

As one of the biggest strikes by medics starts today with warnings of cancelled appointments and ­operations, a campaign is launched showing junior staff are on as little as £14 an hour for saving lives.
