- The British Medical Association (BMA) announced a full walkout from 7am on June 27 to 7am on July 2 during the election campaign.
- Talks had recently reopened in mediation, but the BMA said the Government had not made a credible pay offer; an acceptable public commitment could still avert the strike.
- The announced action would be the 11th strike in the current dispute, while the previous walkout from February 24 to 28 postponed 91,048 appointments, operations and procedures.
- NHS Providers said nearly 1.5 million appointments had been delayed since industrial action began, with the cost to the NHS estimated at £3 billion.
Even at this late stage Mr Sunak has the opportunity to show that he cares about the NHS and its workers.— Statement by the co-chairs of the BMA junior doctors committee
