Junior doctors in England will strike for five days from July 13 in what is thought to be the longest single period of industrial action in the history of the health service, said the British Medical Association.
More than 650,000 routine operations and appointments have had to be rescheduled due to industrial action across England since December, it has been revealed.
The impact of strikes was being felt across “already overstretched” hospital, ambulance, mental health and community services, NHS Providers said.
