The BMA has called on the government to propose a better pay offer for consultants in England after its members narrowly voted against the government’s offer. In a referendum, 51.1% of BMA consultant members in England rejected the offer, with a total of 23,544 consultants voting. The BMA’s Consultants Committee has also rejected the pay offer and urged the government to return to the table. Consultants believe that the pay deal does not address the recruitment and retention crisis among senior doctors. The Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association had already rejected the offer, and the BMA is now pushing for a more suitable long-term solution.
