The last pay rise was afforded by making hundreds, if not thousands of civil servants redundant.
I’m curious, where is the next above inflation rise going to come from?
Dont get me wrong, they (some of them anyway) deserve the money. But not at the expense of everyone else.
Sorry but rubbish.
Civil service cuts had nothing to do with paying doctors. The 2 events were years apart in announment.
And austerity was very much a government choice. One you are welcome to agree with. But it being the only option was an out right lie. And it funded huge cuts in corperation taxes etc. Not the NHS.
As for above inflation. Only if you totally ignore 14 years of no or below inflation pay rises. Is it in anyway possible to say the last one was above the recent yearly inflation.

Because they’re overworked and underpaid?
