Resident doctors in England are to “press ahead” with a planned walkout next week after crunch talks failed to avert the strike action, the Government has said as it took a key part of its offer off the table.
The Department of Health and Social Care said an offer of 1,000 extra training places, which was part of the Government deal on pay and jobs, will no longer be “financially or operationally” possible as the NHS prepares to deal with the fallout from the strike.
