Senior Doctors in England Accept Pay Offer, Ending Strikes.

Consultants in England have accepted a new pay offer from the government, ending more than a year of strikes. About 83% of the British Medical Association's consultants who participated in a referendum voted in favor of the offer, which was said to be an improvement from the proposal previously rejected in January. The pay increase comes with changes to the profession's pay review body, the DDRB, which will now have more independence and no longer be constrained by inflation targets and economic evidence. This brings an end to the ongoing strike action that has added to the NHS patient appointment waiting list.
