The new health secretary says reaching a fair pay deal is a top priority.
Face-to-face talks between junior doctors unhappy over pay and the new health and secretary are set to begin.
But there is renewed optimism an agreement might be reached to avoid more strikes and disruption for patients. The long-running dispute has seen 11 rounds of strikes by junior doctors in England put pressure on an already overburdened NHS with more than seven million patients on waiting lists for treatment.
It has since said it is willing to have the 35% pay rise phased in, after initially calling for it in one go, but government stands firm.
