British resident doctors stage a six-day strike

Due to the decline in salaries and the pressure on staff, British resident doctors have launched a six-day strike starting from Tuesday.

According to a report by Reuters, British resident doctors previously rejected a proposed salary plan from the government that stated "no further improvements will be made". The British Medical Association (BMA) stated that this plan failed to address the issues of salary reduction and staff shortages that have persisted for many years.

This strike occurred during the Easter holiday and will continue until the morning of April 13th. British Prime Minister Stammer previously issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the medical staff, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement.

The government has now withdrawn its promise to create 1,000 additional specialist training positions. The government previously stated that this commitment was conditional upon doctors accepting a salary agreement.

British Health Secretary Strittin said that the government is not prepared to divert the funds originally intended for patient services to a settlement plan that is considered unaffordable. He estimated that this strike will cause the National Health Service to lose approximately 50 million pounds per day, totaling about 300 million pounds over six days.

Stirling said on "The Times Radio" program on Tuesday that during the Labour government's tenure, resident doctors received the highest salary increase among all groups in the public sector, but they rejected the proposal without submitting any counter-proposals.

Last month, Strittin had urged the union to reconsider, stating outright, "There won't be a better proposal than this."

The British Medical Association represents approximately 50,000 5000 resident doctors (previously known as "primary doctors"), a group that accounts for nearly half of all medical practitioners in the UK.
