Junior Doctors In England Vote To Accept Pay Deal

Junior doctors in England have voted to accept a pay rise of 22% over two years.


The decision brings long running industrial action to an end, where many junior doctors went on strike 11 times over an 18 month period.


But the British Medical Association has warned that it expects pay rises 'each and every year' to come.


Dr Rob Laurenson is the co-chair of the BMA's junior doctors committee. He has said that further strikes are possible, and long term government commitments to improve pay are needed to keep people in the profession.
