DOCTORS’ union the British Medical Association (BMA) took aim at the Scottish government today for failing to tackle the country’s shortage of doctors.
The union said that members are at breaking point, with pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic increasing their workflow, causing “huge fatigue, frustration and unhappiness.”
BMA Scotland chairman Dr Lewis Morrison has urged ministers to enforce a “proper plan” to reverse the shortages of doctors in both specialities and general practice in order to reduce the current workload.
