英国医学协会周一表示，英格兰高级医院医生计划于11月举行为期两天的罢工，此前政府建议给予低于通胀水平的加薪。
Senior hospital doctors in England are set to stage a two-day strike in November, the British Medical Association said on Monday, following a government recommendation of a below-inflation pay rise.
罢工定于11月25日和26日举行，是自2023年以来，因薪资和工作条件引发的英国国民医疗服务体系（NHS）纠纷导致的十多轮产业行动中的最新一例。
The strike, due to take place on November 25 and 26, is the latest example of disputes over pay and working conditions across Britain's National Health Service which have led to more than a dozen rounds of industrial action since 2023.
英国医学协会称，政府向决定医生薪资的机构提议，在2027/2028财年加薪2.4%，按所有当前通胀指标衡量，这构成了“显著的实际薪资削减”。该协会指出，过去17年里，高级医生的实际薪资已缩水25%。
The government's proposal of a 2.4% rise to the body that sets doctors' pay for the 2027/2028 financial year, is a "significant real-terms pay cut by all current measures of inflation," the BMA said. It noted that senior doctors had seen a 25% cut to their pay in real terms over the last 17 years.
英国医学协会在声明中表示，如果英国卫生大臣承诺就薪资和工作条件开展资金充足的正式谈判，罢工可以避免。国家统计局周三表示，9月CPI总体通胀率为3.5%。
The strike can be avoided if Britain's health minister commits to adequately funded formal negotiations on both pay and working conditions, the BMA said in a statement. The headline rate of CPI inflation in September was 3.5%, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday.
卫生大臣伊薇特·库珀称英国医学协会的决定“非常令人失望”，此前她所在部门、国民医疗服务体系与英国医学协会进行了她所谓的建设性讨论。
Health Secretary Yvette Cooper said the BMA's decision was "very disappointing" following what she called constructive discussions between her department, the NHS and the BMA.
她说：“同国民医疗服务体系各界同事一道，我决心在艰难的冬季支持员工和患者。”
"With colleagues across the NHS, I am determined to support staff and patients through the tough winter period," she said.
“我希望英国医学协会继续与我们团结一致，共同努力，不要采取不负责任的行动，让我们的医疗服务在此时关键时刻承受更大压力。” 政府在10月19日发布给医生和牙医薪酬审查机构的证词中表示，其2.4%加薪计划不必在“政府核心卫生承诺”之间做取舍。
"I hope the BMA will stay united with us in that effort, and not take irresponsible action that would place our health service under even greater pressure at this crucial time." The government had said in its evidence to the Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration, published on October 19, that its plan for a 2.4% rise did not have to make "trade offs against headline government health commitments".
