Junior doctors' strike threatens NHS disruption.

Health Secretary Steve Barclay has criticised the British Medical Association (BMA) for its "unrealistic" pay demands, which he said were "out of step with pay settlements in other parts of the public sector". Junior doctors in England are set to stage a four-day strike from Tuesday, with the BMA calling for a 35% pay rise to make up for 15 years of below-inflation wage rises. Health bosses have estimated that up to a quarter of a million operations and appointments could be postponed as a result of the strike.
