Striking junior doctors in Greater Manchester have described how their dispute isn't just about pay - it's about saving the NHS as more and more colleagues leave to get better paid jobs abroad.
They spoke out as junior doctors began a third round of strike action, walking out at 7am at hospitals across Greater Manchester in a dispute over pay.
Unions are are calling for a 35 per cent increase for junior doctors to make up for 15 years of declining pay compared to inflation. But the Government insists the demand is 'unreasonable' and has criticised the unions over the latest walkout. Health Secretary Steve Barclay said: "This 72-hour walkout will put patient safety and our efforts to cut waiting lists at risk."
