DOUGLAS Ross has accused English junior doctors of politicising their demands for pay because they dislike the Tory UK Government.
The Scottish Tory leader told The Scotsman that he believed NHS staff south of the Border wanted to make their pay a “political issue”.
They accepted a 12.4% pay increase, with a commitment to future year’s pay rising in line with inflation, averting the threat of strikes.In England, junior doctors have been offered a 6% rise with an additional consolidated £1250 increase. Speaking at a visit to businesses in Ayrshire, Ross claimed junior doctors in England had the chance to accept the same deal as Scottish doctors but rejected it.
He added: “They were asked distinctly would you accept the very same offer that has been made to Scottish junior doctors and they said no.“That’s not me saying this, that’s an admission from their leadership.
