flag Resident doctors in England vote to strike for higher pay, facing government opposition.

flag Resident doctors in England have voted to strike over pay, with 90% supporting the action in a British Medical Association (BMA) ballot. flag The BMA demands a 29.2% pay increase to address pay erosion since 2008/09. flag Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned that a strike would be a "disaster" for patients and doctors, and urged the BMA to reconsider. flag The government claims it cannot afford pay rises, as resident doctors have already received the highest pay award in the public sector for two years. flag Previous strikes led to over 1.5 million appointments being postponed.
