The health secretary says demands are unreasonable but union leader says pay level is 'driving doctors away'.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay has accused junior doctors of being unreasonable by refusing to budge on their demand for a 35% pay rise.
But Dr Vivek Trivedi, from the doctors' union, appearing on the same show, said deals that amounted to a real-terms pay cut were "driving doctors away".Ministers have offered a 5% pay rise but Dr Trivedi, who co-chairs the British Medical Association Junior Doctors Committee, said this would amount to "a massive real-terms pay cut" due to rising prices.
He added: "We want to engage with them, we have been doing. It's the junior doctors who walked away from those negotiations by calling strikes."
