SoR Vice President urges members to vote now in pay ballot
SoR Vice President Tom Welton has called on members to make their voices heard on the pay award by voting now to ensure their ballot papers arrive by 28 June.
"If you haven’t already, get them in", said Tom. "Whichever your vote decision, please speak up".
In a letter to SoR members, Tom gave his own reasons for rejecting the pay ‘offer’ and why he backed industrial action at this time:
Tom said he did not expect all members to support industrial action: "I totally understand that, but please think through the wider picture and how we can change things for the better. It is everyone’s responsibility.
"The Royal College of Radiologists has recently published a report stating that 97% of UK cancer centres have experienced delays in patient treatment because of staff shortages over the past year. Something needs to be done. If you haven’t cast your vote, time is running out, post your vote."
You can email Tom if you have any questions at Thomas.Welton@lthtr.nhs.uk, or if you are a member based at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals you can request a face-to-face discussion.
