🔴 Junior doctors in England are to stage a fresh four-day strike next month in a long-running dispute over pay
In a joint statement, they said: “It should never have got to the point where we needed to announce a fifth round of strike action.
“The Prime Minister has told us that talks are over but it is not for Rishi Sunak to decide that negotiations are over before he has even stepped in the room.“This dispute will end only at the negotiating table. If the Prime Minister was hoping to demoralise and divide our profession with his actions, he will be disappointed.”
The strikes did not need to go ahead if a “credible offer” was made to junior doctors, who have lost more than a quarter of their pay in fifteen years, they added. It comes after it was revealed more than 67,000 hospital appointments and procedures in England were cancelled due to a recent strike by consultants.
More than 65,000 patient and outpatient appointments were rescheduled as a result of the industrial action called by the BMA from 20 to 22 July.
