England: Junior Doctors strike over pay and Working hours
Nearly 3,000 operations have
been cancelled as junior
doctors in England take part
in a second 24-hour strike
over pay and conditions.
Check-ups, appointments
and tests are also set to be
disrupted as a result of the
walkout, which began at
08:00 GMT.
Formal talks broke down in
January and there is
mounting speculation
ministers may soon seek to
impose a new contract,
potentially inflaming the row
further.
The key sticking point
appears to be payments for
working on Saturdays.
