Radiographers, who carry out scans on patients, have agreed to strike over pay in some parts of England.The Society of Radiographers says it is likely industrial action will go ahead in July, unless the government can improve their offer of a 5% pay rise this year and a cash payment for 2022.Radiographers carry out x-rays, MRI and CT scans, ultrasounds and breast screening, as well as radiotherapy for cancer patients.
Dean Rogers, from the Society of Radiographers, said: "The radiography professionals on the front line know that low wages undermine efforts to create a stable NHS workforce, with sufficient staffing levels to ensure that all patients receive the best treatment possible. "If the government wants to reduce NHS waiting lists and ensure that patients receive the treatment they need, when they need it, then it must urgently prioritise the recruitment and retention of radiography professionals."
