Thousands of radiographers in England are to strike on Tuesday amid a row with the government over pay, recruitment and retention.

Members of the Society of Radiographers (SoR) have voted to reject the 5% pay award offered by ministers and called for talks to reopen after other public sector workers, including junior doctors, were offered more.
