The British Medical Association’s press release said: “Junior doctors know all too well the frustration of patients waiting too long for care, with a waiting list of 7.2 million in England.
“We share the frustration of anyone who had their care disrupted during the industrial action, this is the same frustration we’re already experiencing on a daily basis because the NHS cannot cope.”

Over last decade, junior doctors wages haven't risen in line with inflation, giving them a real time pay cut of 25%.

The HCSA, the Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association union, said junior doctors were given a pay rise this year of only 2%.
