Public urged to continue seeking NHS care during resident doctors' strike
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 24 – Jeremy Corbyn plans to launch a new political party following his departure from Labour leadership, aiming to reshape UK politics amid shifting party dynamics.
- A strike involving junior doctors began at 7am on Friday, lasting five days and disrupting NHS services throughout England, with Manx patients facing delays and cancellations of their scheduled appointments.
- The strike followed collapsed talks between the BMA and the government over pay restoration after resident doctors rejected the government's offer.
- NHS England prepared plans to maintain urgent and emergency care with GP surgeries and A&E open, while hospitals were urged to limit cancellations to unsafe situations.
- A YouGov poll found 52% of UK adults opposed the strike while 34% supported it, with support declining since May when 48% opposed strikes over pay.
- The strike has already caused nearly 1.5 million appointment reschedules since late 2022, leading to warnings of risks to patient safety and calls for a credible pay solution.
