Doctors will meet with Steve Barclay tomorrow in an effort to avert an unprecedented NHS strike.
The British Medical Association has been granted the first face to face meeting of any NHS trade union since the Health Secretary opened pay talks with the Royal College of Nurses.
It is not known whether he will open similar talks about pay for 2022/23 during the planned meeting in Westminster at 10am or again refuse to talk about improved salaries for junior doctors.
