Government rules out fresh junior doctor talks, BBC reports
The BBC has reported that the government has ruled out talks to negotiate on its plans to impose the new junior doctor contract.
The news means the first strike to include emergency services, scheduled for the 26 and 27 April, is likely to go ahead. The all-out-strikes will include A&E and intensive care and has prompted a number of organisations, including the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and Patients Association to call on ministers to halt the imposition and for both sides to resume negotiations.
The British Medical Association (BMA) has indicated it is willing to get back around the table. On Thursday 8 April, BMA leader Dr Johann Malawana said: "Any future action is wholly avoidable, but the government must get back around the negotiating table and end this dispute through talks."
