The British Medical Association has announced junior doctors in England will strike for 72 hours in June after the government failed to make a ‘credible offer’ on pay.
The BMA said strike action will go ahead after theJunior doctors in England previously walked out between April 11 and 15 after the BMA concluded the government was 'not serious' about solving the pay dispute.
Dr Vivek Trivedi and Dr Robert Laurenson, co-chairs of the BMA junior doctors committee, said: 'Since April's strikes we have had three weeks of negotiations with the government, seeking a deal that fully restores pay for junior doctors after the more than 26% drop they have suffered over the last 15 years.
'We entered these talks in good faith, hoping that after months of refusal by ministers to meet with us, we would finally see a real offer on the table that would avoid the need for more industrial action and stop the haemorrhaging of junior doctors from the NHS. 'In that time we have received an offer which is in no way credible or even reasonable for where we are in the negotiating process.
'We made clear from the very start that talks required a recognition of the scale of our pay erosion.'We made proposals showing our willingness to be creative and work with the government on how the reversal of our pay erosion could be achieved.
