Junior doctors in England vote to strike over pay | UK News
Junior doctors in England have voted overwhelmingly to strike over pay, the British Medical Association (BMA) has said.
They are planning a “full 72-hour walkout in March”.
More than 98% voted in favour of striking.
In a statement, the BMA said: “The results are in and members have delivered a huge mandate – with the highest-ever number of junior doctors voting for strike action and a record turnout. A huge thank you to all of those who voted.”
Turnout stood at around 77.5%, with almost 37,000 junior doctors out of around 47,700 of those who are eligible taking part in the ballot.
The strike dates have not yet been confirmed.
