Hospital doctors in England on Friday announced the longest strike in the history of the state-funded National Health Service, in an ongoing row over pay.
Junior doctors – those below consultant level – will walk out for five days from 7:00 am on July 13 until the same time on July 18, the British Medical Association said.
They want pay restored to 2008-2009 levels but the government says this would mean an average pay award of about 35 percent this year and is too costly. Laurenson and Trivedi said the government was refusing to reopen talks on pay, forcing them to stage “the longest single walkout by doctors in the NHS’s history”.
