BMA says government refused to listen to striking junior doctors
Staff on a NHS hospital ward, October 3, 2014

THE British Medical Association (BMA) said ministers had failed to “simply listen” to junior doctors again as they returned to work following their five-day strike in England today.

It is expected that tens of thousands of appointments, procedures and operations were postponed as a result of their 11th walkout in 20 months.

Officials are expected to confirm the number the day after voters take to the polls in the general election tomorrow.
