Interview with consultant following rally at BMA House

The video discusses the challenges faced by the NHS in recruiting and retaining staff, largely due to pay issues. It highlights the competitive salaries offered in countries like Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, which attract UK doctors. The impact of staffing shortages on the NHS workload is significant, leading to unsustainable conditions. The video also covers the stalled negotiations with the government, which offered a 6% pay increase deemed insufficient. The need to restore the pay value eroded since 2008 and address the pay review mechanism is emphasized.
