Health Secretary urges junior doctors to call off strikes
Health Secretary Victoria Atkins has urged junior doctors to call off the strike.
Mrs Atkins said she was disappointed that junior doctors walked away from the negotiating table before a final offer was made and hinted that an improved offer on pay and conditions could be on the table if they called off the industrial action.
A 72-hour England-wide walkout began at 7am on Wednesday and will run until the same time on Saturday.
It comes as the NHS faces one of its toughest winters on record.

It comes just two days after England’s defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024. Despite that disappointment, Southgate has taken the Three Lions to two European Championship finals and a World Cup semi-final during his time in charge. Prince William, President of the Football Association (FA), tweeted his thanks to Southgate for his leadership. The FA says the process to appoint Southgate’s successor has begun, and they aim to have a new manager confirmed as soon as possible. Report by Jonesia.
