he Government has insisted there will likely be no extra talks over pay as the most recent strike by junior docs in England drew to a detailed.

As the four-day walkout ended at 7am on Tuesday, well being minister Will Quince insisted that negations on pay are over however mentioned he's “open” to debate different points together with working environments.

My door stays open to debate different points round working environments and circumstances, however pay is closed and I believe that’s the proper resolution

Mr Quince instructed Sky News: “It’s hugely disappointing that both the junior doctors of the BMA and the consultants are still taking industrial action.

“And that’s despite the Government having accepted in full the recommendations of the independent Pay Review Body.

“Take junior doctors for example – we accepted the recommendation, which is an average of 8.8% (rise for average junior doctors) or 10.3% for new doctors just starting out in training.

“The Prime Minister has been really clear that the discussion on pay is now closed.

“My door remains open to discuss other issues around working environments and conditions, but pay is closed and I think that’s the right decision.”

In July the Government introduced that junior docs will obtain pay rises of 6%, together with an extra consolidated £1,250 improve, and hospital consultants will even obtain 6%.

Steve Barclay has singularly didn't make any important steps in direction of ending this dispute and, as he continues to posture and hold forth, the ready record goes up and extra sufferers see their therapy delayed

BMA junior docs committee co-chairmen Dr Rob Laurenson and Dr Vivek Trivedi mentioned in a press release in the course of the strike: “This Government and the Health Secretary have grown increasingly intransigent, belligerent and unwilling to talk about how we can end this dispute, and indeed are now expending more energy on making spurious claims about the reasons for our legitimate campaign than they are about settling the dispute.

“Steve Barclay has singularly failed to make any significant steps towards ending this dispute and, as he continues to posture and pontificate, the waiting list goes up and more patients see their treatment delayed.

“What he and the Prime Minister should be doing is getting back round the table with us to find a way of ending this dispute.”
