HEALTH LEADER URGES RESOLUTION TO DISPUTE
Lasting impact of NHS strike action

JUNIOR doctors in England said they will not call more strikes 'unless we have to' as health leaders implored ministers and the doctors' union to urgently resolve the ongoing dispute over pay.

The NHS said the longest strike in its history, which lasted six full days and ended at 7 am today, has caused 'delay and disruption' to thousands of patients.

Ministers have said they will not negotiate with doctors while strike action has been called but, with no further industrial action called, it is hoped talks will resume as soon as possible to try and avert further walkouts and end the dispute.

The British Medical Association (BMA) said it is yet to get an offer for talks to resume.
