UK Resident Doctors Strike

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has warned that the ongoing industrial action is putting the health service 'at risk' and causing unprecedented delays for patients.

The doctors' union is demanding a significant pay increase to address what they describe as a decade of real-terms wage erosion.

Public support for the strikes appears to be wavering as the total cost of the dispute surpasses £3 billion.

Both sides remain far apart, with no new negotiations currently scheduled to resolve the impasse.
