Hospital bosses warn of disruption to services as a result of the strike action.
By David McKenna & PA MediaJunior doctors across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have walked out as part of a national strike over pay.The union has been asking for a 35% increase to make up for 15 years of below-inflation rises.
"During the junior doctor strikes of March and April, around four in every five of our junior doctors who were due to work - that's several hundred staff - took part in industrial action each day," she said.The chief medical officer also urged the public to "choose wisely" and use the healthcare service most suited to their needs over the strike period.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it expected waiting times in A&E to be longer as a result of the strike action. "Losing such a significant part of our workforce - up to 50% - means we will have to do things differently."York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it would prioritise urgent and emergency treatment and would rearrange any postponed appointments as a priority.
