BREAKING: The 72-hour walkout is a major escalation in the NHS pay dispute
Junior Doctors Committee members hold placards demanding full pay restoration during a demonstration at Central Hall Westminster last year.Junior doctors in England are set to go on strike for 72 hours next month in a row over pay.
Members of the British Medical Association overwhelmingly backed the walkout as the union hit out at Health Secretary Steve Barclay for failing to take part in meaningful negotiations on wages. BMA junior doctors committee co-chairs Dr Robert Laurenson and Dr Vivek Trivedi said: “The government has only itself to blame, standing by in silent indifference as our members are forced to take this difficult decision.”Almost 37,000 votes were cast and 98% of those were cast in favour of strike action, meaning this was the largest ever turnout for a ballot of doctors by the BMA and a record number of junior doctors voting for strike action.
