Junior doctors are cutting back on buying food and heating their homes as they struggle to cope with inflation and the rising cost-of-living, a survey has revealed.
More than half of the the 4,500 junior doctors polled said they have had difficulty heating and lighting their homes in the past year, while a similar proportion have had trouble paying their rent or mortgage.
The survey was carried out between November and December by the doctors’ union, The British Medical Association, which represents 160,000 doctors and medical students.
