Junior doctors’ strikes will go ahead next week, after talks between unions and the Government on a new contract failed to reach agreement.
The British Medical Association said industrial action scheduled for next week will go ahead.
However, it will not be the full walkout which was previously hreatened.
Instead, the industrial action will take the form of 24-hour emergency care only, beginning at 8am on Wednesday, February 10 and ending at 8am on Thursday, February 11.
It means around 4,000 operations and procedures are set to be cancelled, with thousands more routine appointments postponed, as happened during the first strike by junior doctors last month.
