The government has agreed a deal with the BMA in the long-running dispute over the NHS junior doctors’ contract in England.
The majority of the British public support the junior doctors in their row with the government over the imposition of a new contract widely regarded to be unfair and discriminatory, according to a new poll.
The Health Secretary has announced that he will impose the new contract on NHS junior doctors without finding a compromise with the British Medical Association (BMA).
Junior doctors have begun a second 24-hour strike over safe working practices and changes to their pay structure after talks between the Department of Health and the British Medical Association (BMA) broke down.
The British Medical Association has called off the 48-hour junior doctors’ strike that had been scheduled to begin next Tuesday.
