00:09I'm a resident doctor. I've just finished night shifts over the weekend in an intensive care unit.
00:14I, when you compare me to a resident doctor doing the exact same job in the exact same ICU
00:18in 2008, I'm paid a fifth less than them. What we're asking is to restore our pay back to those
00:24levels at a time where the NHS was the envy of the world, where patients were not waiting for
00:29hours and hours in A&E. We want to get back to that level. We are not wanting that all
00:33in
00:34one go overnight. We are willing to look at that over multiple years. But what the government's
00:37currently proposing is real terms pay cuts over that period of time. And that's not something
00:41that we can stomach.
