In England, resident doctors are on strike again. They are part of a long pay dispute with the government and the NHS. The NHS chief said hospitals are coping so far, even after many days of disruption.
These doctors are sometimes called junior doctors. This walkout is the 15th time they have left work. The strike is focused on pay and working conditions. The NHS is working to protect patient care and keep essential services running. The chief’s message suggests that, at the moment, the impact has been limited compared with earlier strikes.
Still, patients may notice changes, and the situation could develop as the dispute continues.
