Wes Streeting’s leaked offer letter to the BMA confirms what many of us feared: there is still no serious intent from him to resolve this dispute. 🔴 No offer on pay - despite this being a pay dispute. 🔴 Vague references to “exploring” help with the cost of equipment, meals, and accommodation - basic working conditions, not a substitute for pay restoration. 🔴 His commitments from last year such as rotational training and exception reporting reform still haven’t even been delivered. This isn’t meaningful negotiation. It’s political deflection. Doctors are not asking for NHS meal deals or vague promises. We are asking for a credible offer that begins to reverse a 21% real terms pay cut. That means moving a fully qualified doctor from £18.62/hr to £22.67/hr, over time, not overnight. If the Government is serious about ending this dispute, it must stop recycling old promises and start addressing the core issue: pay.
