Jackie Pugh has been waiting nearly three and a half years for breast reconstruction.
Jackie Pugh is one of many patients to have had surgery cancelled because of the current strike action
"I'm just really, really upset that it is off. I don't know when it is going to be rescheduled," she told the BBC. "I needed my operation to go ahead so that I could look after him when he is recovering, because chemotherapy is not the nicest of treatments," says Jackie. The British Medical Association , the union representing the junior doctors, is asking for a 35% pay rise or "pay restoration" to put salaries back on track with rising inflation and living costs.
The BMA says it would be happy to suspend strike action if there was a credible pay offer from Health Secretary Steve Barclay.But the government maintains that a 35% increase is unrealistic. They have pointed to the deal that other health unions - representing nurses and other workers - have recommended to their members, which includes a 5% pay rise and one-off payment of at least £1,655.
