Thousands of junior doctors march through capital, as government refuses to settle unresolved pay disputes with union
Huge crowds of junior doctors marched through the capital, displaying placards and shouting "claps don't pay the bills".
The action this week is anticipated to have a much greater impact than the first round of strikes in March, as last month consultant colleagues covered those walking out, but this time around fewer consultants are available to bridge the gap. Junior doctors staged the second round of strikes today after the government has refused to negotiate in pay talks.Read more: UK set to become worst performing G7 economy this year as IMF says world economy entering 'perilous phase'
"When we risked our lives going into work during the pandemic, this Government responded with a meaningless round of applause. But claps don't pay the bills." "I know at least five doctors who have quit medicine altogether to work in health consultancy and pharmaceutical companies. That is such a waste of training."
