JUNIOR doctors in England are awaiting a call from the new Labour Government after officials promised to instigate discussions on “day one”.
Health leaders have urged the government to resolve the long-running dispute as a “priority” after it emerged that tens of thousands of appointments were postponed as a result of the latest strike.
