Labour MP Nadia Whittome and Good Morning Britain both recently said that junior doctors are paid £14 an hour. While a minority of junior doctors in England earn this in basic pay, most earn more. (1/2)
It’s essential that all sides use accurate information when talking about pay, with all necessary context and caveats, so that the public can understand the facts about what people earn, what unions are asking for, and how much a pay rise might cost.Ms Whittome’s office told us that her tweet was expressed in a shorthand way and was intended to show how little some doctors are paid.
Good Morning Britain told us that Ms Garraway’s comments were based on images earlier in the show of junior doctors holding signs displaying the £14 an hour figure. It also told us that Ms Keegan’s comments would tell viewers that the figure was disputed.
The lowest paid are the most junior, as you might expect. They are in Foundation Year 1 , which is the first year of work following graduation from medical school.
