Junior doctors across England are demanding better pay with a three-day strike. Junior doctors in the country make up 45% of all doctors in the National Health Service.
Tens of thousands of junior doctors went on strikeon Monday to demand better pay, kicking off three days of widespread disruption at the U.K.'s state-funded hospitals and health clinics.
"All that junior doctors are asking is to be paid a wage that matches our skill set," said Rebecca Lissman, 29, a trainee in obstetrics and gynaecology."We love the NHS, and I don’t want to work in private practice, but I think we are seeing the erosion of public services." Other health workers, including nurses and paramedics, have also staged strikes in recent months to demand better pay and conditions. NHS figures show that more than 100,000 appointments have already been postponed this winter as a result of the nurses' walkouts.
Stephen Powis, medical director of NHS England, said the 72-hour strike this week is expected to have the most serious impact and will cause"extensive disruption."
