Improving Doctors' Working Lives

The Glasgow Evening Times reports on the phenomenon of junior doctors taking pay cuts when they become consultants, due to the level of banding payments which have also been linked with NHS cutbacks. MSP Pauline McNeil argued that "People who are working legally and within their time are benefitting from other people's overtime. This is the wrong way to operate an arrangement like this." However registrar Jason Long responded that "If the divisions want to cut their compliance costs they should do what they were supposed to do 11 years ago and cut doctors' hours."
