Junior doctors man the picket lines as six-day strike begins

Resident doctors in the UK have begun their six-day walkout over jobs and pay after it was revealed their previous strikes cost the NHS £3billion in the last three years. Tens of thousands of resident doctors - formerly known as junior doctors - joined picket lines at 7am this morning after rejecting a pay deal which would have made them 35.2 per cent better off than four years ago, the Health Secretary said.
