Junior doctors in England have voted to extend their strike action for another six months. Members of the Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association accused the PM of being a ‘barrier to progress’ during negotiations.
‘It has yet to move substantially on an offer it tabled months ago and it seems increasingly that the prime minister himself has emerged as a barrier to progress.
‘No-one in their right mind wants to see the impact on the NHS of these strikes, least of all doctors who have dedicated their career to caring for patients. ‘However, unless he changes his dogged insistence on trying to frame this dispute in terms of wider economics we will be condemned to further disruption and strikes.
‘We are urging Rishi Sunak and his government to be brave and soften their position so we can reach a longer-term settlement – one which satisfies the very real grievances of junior doctors who fear for staffing and services due to massive real-terms erosion of pay.
