Fact-check: Are doctors getting an above-inflation pay rise? - Full Fact
Verdict: whether this is correct depends on which doctors are included and which measurement of inflation is used. the pay award for junior doctors of between 8.1% and 10.3% is higher than april's cpih inflation rate of 7.8%. but this is lower than the rpi inflation rate of 11.4% that month. meanwhile, consultants received a 6% pay rise, which is below both rpi and cpih.
