Re: Ethnic pay gap among NHS doctors. A response to the comment from the BAPIO

The Association does believe that there is a racial reason for the ‘pay gap’ -
Then, let us look at the logical imperatives.

Surely the Association is aware that the NHS is a market?

And in a market, scarce commodity commands higher price ?

Conversely, a glut will lower the price.

Therefore the BAPIO should be warning Indian doctors to stay away from Britain.
