Junior doctors hit out at Rishi Sunak as they announce five-day strike before general election
British Medical Association

JUNIOR doctors in England announced a five-day strike in the run-up to the general election today after the Tories failed to make a “concrete commitment” to restore their pay to pre-austerity levels.

The British Medical Association (BMA) said that it had give the government “a final opportunity to make an offer and avoid strikes,” adding that “this opportunity has not been taken up.”

The union announced that junior doctors would stage a full walkout 7am on June 27 to 7am on July 2, two days before the general election.
