England consultants to strike 48 hours starting Nov. 25, BBC reports
The BBC reports consultant doctors in England will walk out for 48 hours from 25 November, after a BMA ballot, in a dispute over pay and pensions.
Consultant doctors in England will stage a 48-hour walkout beginning 25 November at 06:59 GMT, providing emergency cover only, the BBC reported Monday1.
The action follows a British Medical Association ballot in which 76% of consultants who voted supported strike action earlier this year, the BBC said, after talks with the government over the past month1.
Consultants, the most senior doctors in the NHS, were given a 3.5% pay increase this year, according to the BBC, which described the dispute as one over pay and pensions1.
The BBC item did not include a government response to the November walkout dates. Not medical advice.
