Dr Marie Tolan, "We have been in dispute with the Conservative government for 20 months and they have failed to present a credible offer, at all, during that period"

"We have lost 26% of our pay in the last 15 years and that means a newly qualified doctor who have completed five years at medical school, leaving with £100,000 of debt, is paid only £15 an hour"
What they're asking for with pay restoration is to go from £15 to £20 an hour
For context, one of my friend's cleaner charges £25 an hour. The Conservative party keeps talking about a high wage economy, so why aren't they matching or even improving doctors pay in relation to my friend's cleaner's hourly rate?
