Description

Resident doctors in England prepare for their longest strike yet, a six-day walkout starting after Easter, following failed talks and rejection of the latest pay deal. The pay and jobs fight could last another year, with NHS leaders warning of a challenging road ahead due to thin staffing during holidays. Health secretary Wes Streeting questions the possibility of a deal, citing internal union disagreements and demands for a significant pay rise amid tight public finances. The standoff threatens to reshape healthcare delivery as the NHS scrambles to cover patients safely.
