Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has called for doctors to be banned from striking.

Resident doctors, formerly known as junior doctors, began their 15th strike since 2023 on Tuesday, while hundreds of British Medical Association (BMA) staff also began a 48-hour walkout on Monday in an ongoing row over pay.
