James O’Brien changes his mind on the doctors’ strike after insightful call

James O'Brien started the day advising resident doctors against taking strike action, before he spoke to caller Callum... Resident doctors will go on strike for five continuous days later this month in their dispute with the Government over pay, the British Medical Association (BMA) has said. The strike action is set to take place from 7am on July 25 over the pay dispute until 7am on July 30, the British Medical Association announced on Wednesday. Announcing strike dates across England, the BMA said it was giving the Government two weeks to come to the table to negotiate “a path to pay restoration”. BMA resident doctors committee co-chairs, Dr Melissa Ryan and Dr Ross Nieuwoudt, said in a statement they had met with Health Secretary Wes Streeting but the Government would not move on pay. It said: “We met Wes Streeting yesterday and made every attempt to avoid strike action by opening negotiations for pay restoration. “Unfortunately, the Government has stated that it will not negotiate on pay, wanting to focus on non-pay elements without suggesting what these might be. “Without a credible offer to keep us on the path to restore our pay, we have no choice but to call strikes. “No doctor wants to strike, and these strikes don’t have to go ahead. “If Mr Streeting can seriously come to the table in the next two weeks we can ensure that no disruption is caused. “The Government knows what is needed to avert strikes. The choice is theirs.” Listen to the full show on the all-new LBC App: https://app.af.lbc.co.uk/btnc/thenewl... #jamesobrien #health #doctors #strike #nhs #uknews #ukpolitics #LBC LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.
