NATIONALISTS have called on the Welsh government to get round the table with union leaders to head off next week’s junior doctors’ strike in Wales.

Plaid Cymru’s deputy Senedd leader Delyth Jewell made the call a week before the BMA Cymru 72-hour strike next week from February 21 and 96 hours from March 25. 

“There is a real danger that successive pay cuts will drive even more doctors away from the profession at a time when patients need them most,” she said.
