00:00Resident doctors have seen their pay eroded by about 21% on 2008 levels.
00:05It's been eroding slowly over 17 years, and what we're asking for is to have that pay erosion reversed.
00:11So what we're really asking for is for a first-year doctor to go from roughly £18.60 an hour up to less than 23% an hour.
00:20And we think that this is something that the public will actually support, because that will allow doctors to stay in the NHS.
00:29And patients are saying all the time that they can't get doctor's appointments.
00:34We're short-staffed. The reason that doctors are leaving is because of pay and conditions.
00:39Nobody wants to be on strike. We don't have to have a single day of strike action.
00:44What we need is a government who's willing to actually negotiate properly and give an offer.
00:48Nobody's asking for any of the money to be given on one day or one year.
00:54We want a pathway to restore our pay, but in order to get there, we need Mr Streeting.
00:59We need the government to come and actually give us an offer.
01:03If he was to call me on Saturday or Sunday morning and say,
01:07I've got a credible offer for you. Let's talk about it. Let's go forward.
01:10There's always the potential to call off any strike action.
01:12It doesn't need to go on for years, but what we need is action from them, not just empty promises.
01:18All right.
01:19All right.
01:20All right.
01:25Here we go.
