Junior doctor strikes suspended after new pay deal offered

Junior doctor strikes due to start next week in Scotland have been suspended after a new pay deal was offered by the Scottish Government.

BMA Scotland said the new offer amounts to a 12.4 per cent pay increase this year, an improvement on the 14 per cent over two years previously proposed by ministers.

A three-day walkout, which was due to start on July 12, has been averted to allow the union to ballot its members.
