The figures: 500+ operations & appointments cancelled after walk out
A one day strike by junior doctors has caused disruption in hospitals across our region - with more than 500 operations and outpatient appointments cancelled.
It comes as one of our major hospitals - the Royal Cornwall in Truro - remains on Black Alert - after being overwhelmed by patients needing emergency treatment.
Here are the figures ITV News have compiled of all the operations and appointments affected across the region.
DERRIFORD HOSPITAL
ROYAL CORNWALL HOSPITAL
NORTH DEVON DISTRICT HOSPITAL
TORBAY
ROYAL DEVON AND EXETER HOSPITAL
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has described these strikes as unnecessary and has urged the BMA back to the negotiating table.
Junior doctors say they're striking against the imposed changes in pay for unsocial hours, claiming it devalues the work doctors do on evenings and weekends.
If the stalemate continues, another day of action for emergency care is planned for 28th January.
