Welsh doctors call off strikes but warn ‘fight for pay restoration is far from over’

WELSH doctors have called off strikes after accepting improved pay offers from the government, the British Medical Association’s (BMA) announced today.

The union’s consultant, junior doctor and specialist committees all voted in favour of the deals after three junior doctors’ strikes and planned industrial action by senior doctors forced ministers to the negotiating table in April.

Junior doctors’ pay offer rose by 7.4 to 12.4 per cent, backdated to April 2023.
