Many junior doctors are set to take part in a four-day walkout after the Easter weekend as part of an ongoing pay dispute.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay says next week's strike "threatens to cause significantly more disruption" than previous walkoutsThe union representing junior doctors appears "intent on maintaining a militant stance" which "hampers serious talks over pay", the health secretary has said., Steve Barclay said pay demands by the British Medical Association were "unrealistic".Junior doctors in England are set to stage a four-day strike from Tuesday.
Mr Barclay said pay demands by junior doctors were "out of step with pay settlements in other parts of the public sector" and claimed some doctors could receive an extra £20,000 a year if wage demands were met. In his article, Mr Barclay wrote that the four-day strike "threatens to cause significantly more disruption than the previous NHS walkouts we have seen recently".
"Not only does the 96-hour walkout come straight after the Easter weekend, but it is also longer than previous walkouts. And it coincides with school holidays, Ramadan and Passover."
