NHS Providers' chief executive Daniel Elkeles emphasized the need for striking doctors to think about the consequences of their actions on patients and the national health service. Strikes may impede progress towards reducing waiting lists, though NHS staff will strive to provide care. Sir Keir Starmer appealed to resident doctors to reconsider their actions, warning that strikes could significantly harm patient care and NHS recovery. The British Medical Association (BMA) argues resident doctors have faced significant pay reductions since 2008, asserting a need for restored salaries to reflect their value in the system.
Daniel Elkeles, chief executive of NHS Providers, stated that striking doctors should consider the impacts on patients, the NHS, and themselves, as strikes could hinder efforts to reduce waiting lists.
Sir Keir Starmer urged resident doctors not to follow the BMA's course of action, emphasizing that the strikes would lead to significant damage to patient care and NHS recovery.
