Vote to accept deal marks real opportunity to move on
16 September 2024
Responding to the announcement that junior doctors in England have backed the government’s pay offer, the chief executive of NHS Providers, Sir Julian Hartley, said:
“This is great news.
“The dispute has been disruptive, divisive and costly.
“It’s been a major distraction for trust leaders in their work to maintain and improve services at a time of extraordinary pressure on the NHS.
“Now there is a real opportunity to move on.
“It’s vital though that the agreement does not eat into trust budgets which are already severely stretched.”
