Consultant Doctors in England Announce Two-Day Strike Over Pay Dispute
Consultant doctors in England will stage a two-day strike from 25 November, providing emergency care only as they continue their dispute with the government over pay and working conditions. The action follows a British Medical Association ballot in which 76% of participating consultants backed strike action. Consultants received a 3.5% pay rise this year, but the union says their real-terms pay has fallen by about a quarter over the past 17 years. The government said recent talks with the union had been constructive and described the planned strike as disappointing, warning that it could place additional pressure on the health service.
