Junior doctors' leaders have rejected a "final take-it-or-leave-it" offer made by the government to settle the bitter contract dispute in England.
The offer included a concession on Saturday pay, but the British Medical Association said it was not enough.
The development is expected to lead ministers to announce that they are going to impose a contract on doctors.
The news has emerged as doctors take part in their second 24-hour strike - due to end at 08:00 GMT on Thursday.
During the walk-out they have provided emergency cover, but the stoppage has led to the cancellation of nearly 3,000 routine operations and treatments. GP care has been largely unaffected.
