The healthcare body's chief executive says funds for the 12.6% pay rise demand are not available.
Meeting a 12.6% pay demand by doctors' union is unaffordable for the Isle of Man's health care provider, its chief executive has said.
Despite being formally rejected by the BMA, Manx Care's board will implement a 6% an interim measure for the 2023-24, and has offered a 4% rise for 2024-25. The union said inflation on the island had increased by 56.3% since then, but "the maximum consultant’s salary increased by just 27.3% over the same period".However, Ms Cope said the gap between the BMA's demand and the full amount the health care provider could offer was “a significant difference at any stage", but particularly when it was "facing such wider challenges around its funding”.
