Doctors have told the Government it will provoke “a very public dispute” if it blocks a pay rise for NHS staff.
Dr Mark Porter, the chairman of the British Medical Association, has written to the Treasury Secretary, Danny Alexander, to make clear the level of anger at his plans to refuse a pay rise for doctors and nurses.
His warning comes as four of the biggest healthcare unions prepare to ballot their members on strike action over pay at the end of this month.
Mr Alexander has told NHS pay review bodies, which give the Government independent guidance on staff remuneration, that he intends to block a pay rise for doctors and nurses next year regardless of their advice.
