after going to medical school you become a junior doctor.nsidered junior doctors. about half the doctors and hospital and a quarter of those in gp surgeries. so how much dojunior doctors earn? these are the different pay scales, because there is such a wide variety and experience, there is a wide variety, a big change, a big gap, the first year, junior doctor coming up salary would be roughly £30,000, by the commits it is up to £60,000. these light coloured blue boxes show amounts for things like social hours, working at weekends, overtime, and that would lift salary in that first year to roughly 40,000 on average. now, the argument that the british medical association makes is that these pay scales have fallen quite dramatically behind inflation, the cost of living, over the last 15 years or so. that�*s why they are asking for a 35% rise in wages to make up for what they say is a gap, because of inflation, the cost of living, in the real wages that doctors get. as a result of this, that is why you see 47,000 members, roughly two thirds of j

it was cancelled, though she doesn't blame the junior doctors.r for the two weeks where i needed to be off to recover. i'd kind of prepared myself mentally to go through the recovery process and things like that, and also, i do live with a decent amount of pain. so, yeah, i wasn't amazingly pleased that it got cancelled, but i understand why. the prime minister conceded that cancellations would make his target of cutting waiting lists more difficult. there's lots of different initiatives that we've got which are going to help us bring those waiting lists down, and it's something i'm focused on, and i'm going to continue to make sure we deliver, but, look, of course industrial action makes that more challenging. but we are going to keep going at it, because it's important to the country. 0pposition parties say ministers must do more to resolve the disputes. i think that, unless there is real leadership now from the prime minister, we're going to be back here again and again, notjust with nurses, but withjunior doctors, and if the government can't

up interest—rate by junior doctors. up to interest—rate byjunior doctors.h respondentjim reed, he was anticipating these figures and they have come as you are hinting at it, you thought it might be around that figure of 200,000? yes, these figures have come through in the last 30 minutes was up if you go to the bbc website all the data is out there. 196,000 nhs appointments cancelled because of the strike in england byjunior doctors last week. that breaks down at around 175,000, so—called outpatient appointments, people who don't have to stay overnight coming in for scans don't have to stay overnight coming inforscans and don't have to stay overnight coming in for scans and consultations but also our own 20,000 elective, inpatient procedures, people who have to stay overnight with like hip replacements, cardiac... some heart surgery, staying overnight for procedure. quite a significant impact and in fact, the nhs boss said, you can see on here, talking about the colossus could also impact as he puts it, of industrial action lawsuit. where it saying that the

it was cancelled, though she doesn't blame the junior doctors.o be off to recover, i'd kind of prepared myself mentally to go through the recovery process and things like that, and also, i do live with a decent amount of pain. but, yeah, i wasn't amazingly pleased that it got cancelled, but i understand why. the prime minister conceded that cancellations would make his target of cutting waiting lists more difficult. there's lots of different initiatives that we've got which are going to help us bring those waiting lists down, and it's something i'm focused on, and i'm going to make sure that we continue to deliver, but of course industrial action makes that more challenging. but we are going to keep going at it, because it's important to the country. 0pposition parties say ministers must do more to resolve the disputes. i think that unless there is real leadership now from the prime minister, we are going to be back here again and again, notjust with nurses, with junior doctors, and if the government can't get around the table to negotiate, then

the junior doctors argue that mr barclay should put forward his own pay offer.again and ask anyone that is in contact with him to urge him to come to the table in an open and honest way so that we can ultimately bring this dispute to an end as quickly as possible. as striking doctors and others staged a march through westminster, the two sides seemed as entrenched and as far apart as ever. more from hugh in a moment, but nhs england says to cope with the strike, it's prioritising resources to protect life—saving care. the advice to the public is to only use 999 or go to a&e if it's a life—threatening emergency, like signs of a heart attack, stroke, or serious injury. for all other medical concerns, the guidance is to use 111 online as the first port of call. do attend hospital appointments as planned, unless you've been contacted and told otherwise. meanwhile, gp practices will continue to be open during the strike. the nhs says the public can also play its part by checking in on vulnerable family members and neighbours. let's talk to hugh pym now, who's at univ

>> the junior doctors did not cover emergency care.y recovered by consultants, as you rightly said. it seems hospitals just about coped. they had enough consultants, senior doctors to cover, but they are worried about this nurses strike, 48 hours from april 30, affecting all forms of care including emergencies and cancer care. one leading hospital boss told me that very possibly accidents and emergency would have to be scaled back at his hospital because of the impact of the walkout by members of the royal college of nursing. there is even more concerned about the impact of that nurses strike. and there could be more. we have heard that the nurses college will be balancing again. junior doctors have not ruled out further strikes as well. although one major health union, unison, has voted to accept a pay offer and not carry out further strikes. the government is hoping other unions will vote for that pay offer. christian: thank you very much for that. let's try and help you understand the context behind this inquiry by the standards com

claps won't pay the bills. _ day four of the junior doctors strike.as making their own voices heard, they're keen to know whether nurses will vote to end their dispute with the government. we are watching this very closely because the nurses are our colleagues. we work in the same environment. we're part of the same teams. the walk—out by nurses has been on hold following a new proposal by the government. nurses in england have been offered a one off payment of at least £1,655 as a top up for the last financial year. there's also a 5% consolidated salary rise for this year. the vote on whether to accept it closed at 9:00 this morning. the result is due later today. the nhs confederation, which represents health organisations, is keen to see an end to this dispute. when you add in losing large portions of your staff to industrial action, it makes a very difficult situation, almost impossible to manage. so it took too long, to be frank, to enter into negotiations with nurses, paramedics and other staff. nurses in scotland narrowly voted to accept a 6.5%
