Junior doctors in England have voted in favour of taking strike action in their fight to get more pay.
Members of the British Medical Association are now expected to take part in a 72-hour walkout, possibly as early as mid-March.
"We are frustrated, in despair and angry and we have voted in our thousands to say, 'in the name of our profession, our patients, and our NHS, doctors won't take it any more'. Members of the Royal College of Nursing will walk out across half of frontline services in England next week for 48 hours. Currently, the basic starting salary for a junior doctor is £29,000, but average earnings are higher once extra payments for things like unsociable hours are taken into account.These are doctors with huge responsibility, leading teams, carrying out surgery and making life-and-death decisions.Watch: How strike rules could be about to change
"We hugely value the work of junior doctors and it is deeply disappointing some union members have voted for strike action," Mr Barclay added.
