the institute for fiscal studies says consultants in england have seen a 17% drop in pay in real termsngs since 2010. the health secretary steve barclay said the government's 6% offer was the final one and urged consultants to put patients first. here's our health editor hugh pym. empty operating theatres once again, with another doctor's strike in empty operating theatres once again, with another doctors strike in england causing widespread cancellations of planned operations. this time, though, it's senior doctors whose action has caused more disruption than the juniors�*. it's had a huge impact. over 90% of our operations have been cancelled. the boss of one leading hospital told me of his concern. every time this happens, more and more people suffer. more and more of our staff become dejected and upset. and it's all a challenge for us to rebuild and start again. appointments have been cancelled, too, at many hospitals. sally from surrey was due to meet a consultant to discuss a hip replacement and it's been pushed back. the wait has doubled and then i don't know how long i have to

let's get more now with pauljohnson, director of the institute for fiscal studies, the leading economicp. thank you for making time to talk to us. a bunch of difficult choices there. just your response to what there. just your response to what the government has decided to do, of course, the big question being where is this money going to come from? i think the government in the end, has made the right choice to implement the pay review body recommendations. that is the have it they have hung themselves on for the last year. don't forget to is next year's pay rise. the public sector workers in question have all had pretty big real pay cuts this year. this is for next year, and even if you put the two years together, teachers and nurses and so on will be worse off at the end of this than they were 18 months ago because put the two years together and they don't match inflation. the amount of money that we are talking about is relatively modest in terms of the fall education and health budgets, may be 1.5% of the total. so we shouldn't overdo the scale of the additional money that is requi

if we just look at their total pay, and the institute for fiscal studies has been doing that, we can once inflation is compare to other staff, we can see how that measures, they have suffered one of the highest levels of pay erosion since 2010. around 17%. if we look at nurses, a pay cut of around 12%, at estate staff, people such as cleaners, between 3% and 4% take—up in real terms. the government counters this by saying that over the past decade, it has prioritised pay rises for the lower paid, which is why we see some of the differences here. but the british medical association say there is no reason why a doctor today is worth any less than a doctor 15 years ago. good to talk to you. thank you very much indeed. let's focus on the war in ukraine now. grain prices have gone up on global markets after russia suggested it would treat commercial ships heading for ukrainian ports as potential targets. earlier this week moscow pulled out of a deal that had guaranteed safe passage for vessels carrying grain. the russian president, vladimir putin, accused western countries of using the ex

we know from data from the institute for fiscal studies that came out recently that the 8.7 million pupilss out on around 350,000,000,000in lifetime earnings between them. so it's absolutely astronomical figure . and i think that this is figure. and i think that this is just the cost of lockdown. we've got this public inquiry underway and i wonder whether we are going to be asking the right questions, whether we're going to look at the economic, social, social costs of not to mention health costs of lockdown . and health costs of lockdown. and when it comes to education, of course , there's the loss of course, there's the loss of lifetime earnings. but you've also got this widening attainment gap. the fact that it hurt underprivileged children the most and of course, the fact that they haven't been able to catch up. so we've had the industrial action, which has meant that poor children have missed even more schools. and i think that lockdown combined with those strikes , has changed with those strikes, has changed attitudes for some people. you know, pupils are feeling as though if teacher

the institute for fiscal studies has said, and thatis for fiscal studies has said, and that is an augustaa hospital cleaner maybe £23,000, but i want all workers to see rises in their living standards. it goes back to one of the points that was made by one of your text messages, from carl. i am not interested in driving wedges between different people in the public sector or indeed between people and the public and private sectors. i want to see people in supermarkets and in the private sector also get pay rises. later this afternoon i will be in amazon and coventry where we are striking for a decent pay rise. there is a wedges crisis in this country across the public and private sector. can i go back to the austerity point because it is important. we are still paying the cost of that austerity programme that george osborne introduced. it caused misery for millions, it decimated our public services and as we found out recently in the covid inquiry, it left us unprepared for the pandemic. but it also sucked demand out of the economy and that is why we have had an economy that has been bubb

of how many people are actually better off for having gone to university data from the institute for fiscal studies to if they had not gone to university and just started working, not incurred the quote unquote debt. i think i think it's wrong to talk about it. it's as if it's a debt, actually, perhaps not incurred that higher income tax threshold and not threshold, but band that graduates now incur. sir, it is interesting . there sir, it is interesting. there are certainly some some degrees that in the view of the government, in the view of the prime minister and in the view of many impartial observers, these are not worth the money. >> all right, tom, that's tom harwood , our deputy political harwood, our deputy political edhon harwood, our deputy political editor, who's looking into this. bev, there are 10 or 11 years durham university got into a lot of flak. they did a second year module, wasn't whole module, wasn't the whole degree on harry potter and the age of illusion. i mean, come on. i mean i mean, i love harry potter. i've read all the books. >> i've watched all the films. >> i've watche

for days on end again. >> and the institute of fiscal studies, i mean, they say that teachers salaries in england fell 11%n. that's between 2010 and 2022. so it is this same issue, just like it is with doctors, isn't it ? with doctors, isn't it? >> well, yes, the argument that the independent pay review bodies seem to be making for offering, for recommending such a big increase, 6.5, that is higher than we've seen across any other public sector body. is that retention and recruitment in teaching is really, really struggling at the moment. we saw thousands of teachers leaving the profession in at the end of last academic year, more than we'd seen for about ten years. that said , there are some new that said, there are some new teachers coming in. so actually the number of teachers on the overall roll is up 2000. that will be the government's argument that retention, recruitment , retention may be recruitment, retention may be getting a tricky , but they getting a bit tricky, but they are still managing to recruit teachers. and if job is what teachers. and if a job is what noted, then is there any need for
