Junior doctors to strike for three days in March amid ongoing pay dispute
The British Medical Association said doctors had "no option" and would strike from March 13, having voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action earlier this month.
The co-chairs of the BMA junior doctors' committee, Dr Rob Laurenson and Dr Vivek Trivedi, said the blame for the strike action "lies squarely at the Government's door". "We have not been told why we have not been offered intensive negotiations nor what we need to do for the government to begin negotiations with us. We are left with no option but to proceed with this action.
"How, in all conscience, can the Health Secretary continue to put his head in the sand and hope that by not meeting with us, this crisis of his Government's making, will somehow just disappear?
