nhs trust respect and understand and, i think, nhs trust respect and understand and, ithink, my nhs trustt and understand and, i think, my own experience of working closely with junior doctors over many years, they do a fantastic job and a highly regarded under key party of the nhs, which is why we are desperate to see a resolution so the sense of cohesion across the service can be restored and we can deliver the priority is the nhs must deliver the priority is the nhs must deliver for its patients. the government _ deliver for its patients. the government says _ deliver for its patients. the government says strike action will have to be called off for it to return to the table, what is your message? what would you like to see doctors on strike do in order to facilitate that? what do you think would bring them to that? again, there needs _ would bring them to that? again, there needs to _ would bring them to that? again, there needs to be _ would bring them to that? again, there needs to be a _ would bring them to that? again, there needs to be a meeting - would bring them to that? again,

why, when they have the most generous pay settlement in the nhs, when every other part of the nhs workforceconsultant doctors, have reached an agreement with the government, why haven't they? because what is clear is we can get the waiting lists down when we do not have strikes. that is what the numbers show and that is what everybody wants to see. i would urge the doctors to come back around the table to get everyone back in and we can start getting waiting lists falling, which is what everyone wants. many people watching this morning might wish your ministers had tried to resolve these strikes a long time ago because for many months, some of your colleagues said there was no more money, and there was more money in the end. the strikes, in many people's view, have contributed to a sense many people feel things are not working very well. one of the viewers wanted us to put this to you, he said, "from nhs delivery to potholes and everything in between, delivery is getting worse, it's not good enough to blame covid or wars, the bottom line is it feels worse in this country for many ordinary p

an nhs investigation couldn't be sure, however, if the delay contributed to his death.to be in there any more. it's horrid. seven months later, midwife michelle learned ofjasper�*s death, and raised concerns about his care with the maternity management team. i identified the two midwives that i was concerned about. did you see any steps being taken to ensure that their practices were safe ? no. what happened to that baby was brushed under the carpet. four months on, a second baby who'd been born at cheltenham died too. the same two midwives had failed to transfer her mother to doctors quickly enough. even after that second death, managers allowed one of the midwives to return to work. michelle was stunned. the way i felt, i was treated by the managers, it was...they didn't have any proof. "we haven't got any proof, michelle." and i said, "but two babies have died. how much more proof do you actually need?" both midwives are now being investigated by their regulator. both midwives are now being investigated by the regulator. the trust says it's deeply sorry for the faili

they make up around 50% of nhs staff, so actually, over the next six days of industrial action, the nhster season. now, here's nhs england's medical director. we just had a really busy christmas and new year period, our nhs staff have coped magnificently with the pressures over that period, but we are now facing six days of industrial action byjunior doctors. that's the longest period of industrial action in nhs history. of course, it's at a time when the nhs is always very busy with winter pressures, viruses such as covid and flu, so there's no doubt it's going to be challenging. first of all, let's just take a look at how muchjunior doctors are paid. well, for the basic foundation pay in first year, it's just over £32,000, and that's without extras such as night pay. this can climb to over £63,000 for specialty registrars, which is after a few years of training. now, the government have offered a 3% average pay rise from january, and this is on top of an existing 9% average pay rise, which was already received back in april, but the british medical association is saying that this is n
