Sarah Dalton: Association of Salaried Medical Specialists Executive Director on the continued strike action and rejected pay offer

Negotiations between senior doctors and the Government have broken down.  

They've rejected a $160 million offer and are set to strike for 48 hours next week.  

The Association of Salaried Medical Specialists had put a proposal which would have cost about $300 million.  

Executive Director Sarah Dalton told Mike Hosking doctors are playing catch up.  

She says doctors haven't had pay increases lower than inflation since the pandemic.
