NHS consultants in Scotland accept 10.5% pay rise

Dr Alan Robertson, chairman of the BMA’s Scottish consultant committee, said the deal was an “important first step in addressing consultant pay erosion”.

He said: “It will help maintain Scotland as an attractive place for consultants to work, improve retention and therefore benefit the NHS and patients whose care suffers as workforce vacancies go unaddressed.

“However, there is much more to do and build upon from here – it is far from the end of the story. We still have ground to make up to restore pay to levels of the past and make up what we have lost to poor pay awards and the impact of inflation.”

Dr Robertson said the pay deal needed to be “indicative of a trend” rather than a one-off deal.
