A 48-hour walkout by consultants will follow five-day strike by junior doctors in England.

NHS consultants in England have voted in favour of strike action in their fight for more pay.

It will follow a five-day strike by junior doctors - the combination is likely to lead to huge disruption to services, and cancelled treatments.Consultants will be providing what is being described as Christmas Day cover during their own strike - so emergency care will be provided, along with a very limited amount of routine work.

But he said it was not too late to avert strike action, and urged the government to come forward with a credible offer.Consultant pay has fallen by 27% since 2008 once RPI inflation is taken into account, but the BMA said once changes to tax and pension contributions were factored in, the cut to take-home pay was 35%.
