i've got to ask you about the junior doctors going out with bma out on strike with the bma yesterday that those newly qualified effectively newly qualified are effectively earning but many earning £14 an hour. but many doctors are living in conditions that have mould and damp. this can't be right for our doctors. they can be leaving in their droves . what did you can dr. droves. what did you can dr. covers anyone from a newly qualified doctor right through to someone who's about to become a consultant and say wages, you know, starting wages are around 33,000 go up to over 55,000. but what the bma are asking for is 26. now that is not affordable. and so , you know, we have to be and so, you know, we have to be realistic in terms of what the country can afford. they were given an 8.4% pay deal. they're not on the independent pay review body scheme . they're on a review body scheme. they're on a multi—year supplement, which they absolutely supported at time. and so i would say to them, particularly when they're saying they won't cover areas like a&e and icu, the patients will be put at
