Show Notes
NHS England Chief Sir Jim Mackey warns of potential four-weekly strikes by junior doctors, with a fifteenth walkout planned for Tuesday after Easter, costing over £250 million. The government, led by Health Secretary Wes Streeting, rejects a rejected deal, and the PM scraps plans for extra training spots. Mackey suggests using more nurses, pharmacists, and paramedics, and offers to meet Streeting over Easter if the offer improves. However, talks are stalled, and ballots for senior docs are brewing, threatening unreliable NHS service.
