"Junior Doctor Strike Causes Ongoing Fallout for NHS"
The disruption caused by the three-day junior doctors' strike in England could take weeks to resolve, according to health bosses. Tens of thousands of appointments and treatments, including cancer care, had to be cancelled during the strike. Hospitals are also reporting problems discharging patients from wards, as consultants were sent to cover A&E. The British Medical Association is asking for a 35% pay rise to make up for 15 years of below-inflation wage rises, but the government has suggested 3.5% next year.
