British Doctors Call Hospitals Menaces in Probe
London eight prominent surgeons including Queen Elizabeth’s physician accuse a majority of British hospitals of being a menace to health. The clash comes as the Health Ministry wrestles with a strike threat from 10,000 NHS family doctors over pay and conditions. Government eased tensions by offering 15.4 million pounds to doctors, to be split evenly, boosting annual earnings to about 3,442 pounds from 7,742. The BMA said the move reduced mass resignation risk but many issues remain unresolved. The eight surgeons’ committee framed the issue as a Health Ministry matter, with Sir Arthur Porritt among signatories attending the Queen.
