Junior doctors have voted overwhelmingly to join Britain’s growing wave of strikes.They now plan a 72-hour walkout next month in their fight for a 26% pay rise.The BMA said it had called for the government to act on pay in ‘several letters’ and a meeting with health secretary‘This vote shows, without a shadow of a doubt, the strength of feeling among most of England’s junior doctors,’ it said of the record 77% turnout.
‘We are frustrated, in despair and angry and we have voted in our thousands to say, “In the name of our profession, our patients, and our NHS, doctors won’t take it anymore”. ‘The government has only itself to blame, standing by in silent indifference as our members are forced to take this difficult decision.’
