London ∙ Junior doctors in England accepted the government’s proposal for a 22 percent salary increase in two years. 66 percent of the British Medical Association voted in favor of the government’s proposal, which resolved the 18-month-old problem. 46,000 people gave their opinion on the government proposal online.

Junior doctors have gone on strike 11 times in 18 months for salary increase. The British Medical Association has warned that if the government does not accept the current proposal, it will face the consequences if there is no salary increase commensurate with the rate of inflation in the future.

Within two weeks of the new government coming to power, the health secretary proposed a government proposal for a 22 percent salary hike. The Health Secretary’s response to the association’s decision was that he was happy to put an end to the unprecedented protests and strike in the health sector. It is estimated that £1.7 billion has been lost as a result of the doctors’ strike for a pay rise. There are other difficulties faced by the patients.
