Consultant doctors in England vote for NHS strikes over pay and working week

Consultant doctors in England have decided to strike over the next year, demanding higher pay and a reduced working week, which could lead to significant disruptions in the NHS. They argue that their salaries have dropped by 25% in real terms since 2008-09. This move follows the recent end of a dispute by resident doctors, heightening concerns about ongoing service interruptions. The implications are vast, potentially straining already overburdened healthcare services and affecting patient care.
