Doctors in Wales are considering going on strike for the first time, the British Medical Association Cymru has said.
Almost two-thirds of hospital doctors surveyed by the union this month said they would be willing to take some form of industrial action, including strikes, over their current pay and conditions.
She added: “Without action now, patients will continue to suffer as a direct consequence of an under-funded NHS with insufficient direct clinical care.” Just under 1,000 doctors in Wales responded to the questionnaire seeking views on the latest pay award from the Welsh Government of 4.5%, with 78% of those who answered saying they want a pay rise that matched or exceeded inflation.
Dr Collins said the result of the most recent survey “is upsetting to all, including the doctors who took part”. “Doctors have been quietly quitting the NHS for years, by reducing their contracted hours or leaving altogether. The financial incentive to remain in the NHS has eroded over the last decade.
“Patient waiting lists are at record high levels and the NHS workforce predicament is affecting healthcare colleagues across the board.
