BMA leader confirms medics would accept 35% rise over ‘number of years’ after start of NHS’s longest ever strike
Junior doctors’ leaders say they are prepared to stage yet more strike action after the longest stoppage in NHS history, unless ministers make them a new offer to end the bitter pay row.
The current action – due to end at 7am on 9 January – is the ninth time they have stopped working since last March and the longest strike to hit the health service since it was founded in 1948.
