DOCTORS and campaigners shouted down a Tory MP yesterday who called the junior doctors’ proposed strike “appalling” and “too extreme.”

Totnes MP and former practising GP Sarah Wollaston told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme that the decision of the British Medical Association (BMA) to ballot for strike action would put patients at risk.

Junior doctors are being asked whether they agree to stop providing emergency care from December 2 and walk out in the following weeks after cuts to overtime pay.
