Junior doctors in England are striking for the 10th time in their long-running pay dispute with the government. NHS bosses warned that the five-day walkout will cause major disruption.
Hospital operations and checkups will be worst hit as half of doctors in hospitals are junior doctors. The British Medical Association (BMA) has asked for a 35% pay rise, but ministers have described the pay claim as unreasonable.
Health Secretary Victoria Atkins said she was disappointed junior doctors were continuing with strike action. Two-thirds of junior doctors are members of the BMA, although the much smaller Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association will also be taking part in strike action.
