Resident doctors begin longest strike yet as Streeting accuses BMA of hypocrisy over pay – UK politics live
The health secretary and the BMA trade accusations over who bears responsibility for the collapse of talks Good morning. Resident doctors in English hospitals started a six-day strike at 7am this morning. Many of them will continue to work, but there will be enough of them joining the strike to have a significant impact on the care hospitals can deliver. It is the 15th resident doctors (who used to be known as junior doctors) have been on stage since they launched a campaign in 2023 to get their pay back to the equivalent level it used to be before austerity kicked in after the financial crash. This morning Wes Streeting, the health secretary, deployed a new statistic in his PR battle against the BMA, the doctors’ union organised the strikes. He confirmed a figure highlighted in the Daily Mail’s splash saying strikes by resident doctors have now cost the country £3bn. We think that strikes cost £50m a day. And so that is, an accurate reflection of the cost of these strikes. What is true is that in order to deliver a full pay restoration back to 2008 levels, using the RPI account of inflation, it would cost in the order of £3bn a year. Let’s then assume that other NHS staff would understandably demand the same. Then that cost would be more like £30bn a year. That is more than the entire cost of the Ministry of Justice’s entire budget for running the criminal justice system. Continue reading...

News live: Australians buy record number of new EVs in March; Australian War Memorial to review Ben Roberts-Smith display
Follow today’s news live Ben Roberts-Smith arrested over alleged war crimes Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The NSW government is rolling out a free nasal spray flu vaccine for children two to four years old. The vaccine, which is sprayed into the nose with one spray in each nostril, will be available for children throughout the state via GPs, community pharmacies and Aboriginal medical services. Having needle-free vaccines for children aged two to four, at no cost to parents, is a gamechanging policy. Two-thirds of kids, and about a quarter of adults, have a strong fear of needles. As GPs, we know that’s a big barrier to achieving the immunity our young patients need. Death at any time is horrific, but just the swiftness – one minute everything seems normal then suddenly, sometimes through no fault of that person, they are taken away. Continue reading...
