Episode Details

NHS England CEO Sir Jim Mackey reports that the health service is holding up against the latest doctors strike, with hospitals utilizing senior doctors to cover emergencies and urgent care. While some planned operations and treatments were canceled, the system is managing the strain so far. The British Medical Association regrets the disruption, blaming the government for not offering a fair deal. Health Secretary Wes Streeting defends the governments package, which includes more training spots and covering exam fees. Public polls show opposition to the strikes, and Mackey acknowledges the challenge of filling shifts after Easter weekend, but believes the NHS may weather the full strike without total meltdown.
