✍️ The British Medical Association (BMA) rejected a deal with Health Secretary Wes Streeting to end a five-day strike in England, citing the lack of a 29% pay rise for resident doctors.
👉 Wes Streeting believed he had secured a verbal agreement with the BMA's resident doctors committee to end the strike 👉 The deal would have addressed five non-pay issues, including hot meals and exam fees 👉 The BMA refused to approve the deal without a 29% pay rise for resident doctors 👉 The strike has led to concerns about the potential for snowball effect and affecting other NHS staff 👉 Kemi Badenoch has pledged to outlaw strikes by doctors if she becomes prime minister
