BMA Cymru Wales said members including junior doctors, specialist doctors and consultants will now vote on the offers.
The British Medical Association has recommended that junior doctors, specialist doctors and consultants accept new pay offers from the Welsh Government.
Specialist doctors will see pay offers for newer contracts increase between 6.1 to 9.2%, as well as an additional uplift for associate specialists – senior doctors who are on closed contracts.They follow weeks of pay negotiations between BMA Cymru Wales and the Welsh Government, which began in April this year following 10 days of strike action by junior doctors.
“We’re satisfied that this offer delivers on our ambition. This offer puts us well on the path to pay restoration.“We are therefore encouraging members to vote to accept this deal. It is a testament to the resolve they have shown in taking part in industrial action to achieve a better future for the profession.”
“Whilst ultimately it will be up for members to decide, we believe the offer is a big step in the right direction for the profession and so we are recommending that members accept it.” They said: “While strike action has been paused during negotiations, if these offers are accepted, it will end this dispute and industrial action, meaning doctors will return to work in Wales for the benefit of patients and NHS services.
“These offers are at the limit of our affordability. We have been open and transparent about our financial constraints with our social partners during negotiations.”
