Doctors In England To Strike As 'Super Flu' Surges


(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Doctors in England yesterday voted to go ahead with a five-day strike starting this week in the busy Christmas season as a“super flu” outbreak sweeps the country. Prime Minister Keir Starmer branded the move“irresponsible” and said the doctors had“lost the sympathy” of the public and their colleagues in the statefunded National Health Service (NHS).

So-called resident doctors rejected a new pay off er from the government and will walk out from 7am (0700GMT) tomorrow, the British Medical Association (BMA) announced. The industrial action comes as flu cases in hospitals across England sit at a record level for this time of year.
