End doctors' pay dispute, says Bristol's hospital boss
"The junior doctors' strike - or any industrial action - is a job for government and the unions. [I] would absolutely encourage them to get round the table and bring these disputes to an end," he said.He said while the hospital has plans that are "pretty well understood" in terms of how it plans for strikes. It was "still difficult" because "patient care is delayed".
He said they were putting on extra clinics and working with other local health care partners, including"We have no patients waiting over 104 weeks. We've also got the 62-day cancer standard [for treatment]." "I think the distress that causes for the families - particularly when they've got to travel a long distance - it's something that we're absolutely attuned to," he said.The prospect of UHBW merging with the other major hospital in Bristol, Southmead, has been the subject of conjecture.At the moment patients with brain trauma have to go to Southmead. But if they also have lung damage, that would involve being transferred to UHBW's Bristol Royal Infirmary.
