The government has offered junior doctors a 22.3% pay rise to end strike action, Sky News understands.
The British Medical Association’s (BMA) junior doctors committee has agreed to put the offer to its members, and if it is accepted it will end months of walkouts over pay.
The pay rise offer will amount to 22.3% over two years, according to The Times.
It constitutes a pay rise of between 8.1% and 10.3% as well as a backdated 4.05% increase for 2023-24.
That is on top of a 6% pay rise for 2024-2025, topped up by a £1,000 payment – an equivalent to a pay rise of between 7% and 9%.
Junior doctors had been pushing for a 35% pay rise to make up for what they say is 15 years of below inflation salary increases.
