Junior doctors set for another strike over contracts
Hundreds of junior doctors across the Calendar region will go on strike today as their row with the government continues over new contracts which are due to be imposed later this year.
More than 5,000 operations and procedures across England have been cancelled ahead of the 48-hour strike.
It comes after Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt announced he will impose the contract on junior doctors - everyone up to consultant level - after months of talks with the British Medical Association (BMA) failed to reach a resolution.
The new contracts are due to be imposed in August.
