Junior doctors will take strike action for three days, starting on Monday, January 15, with the impact on services expected to be significant. The health minister has reassured people that urgent and life-threatening care will continue to be provided during this period. Ms Morgan said: “We are disappointed junior doctors have voted for industrial action, but we understand the strength of feeling among BMA members. "The UK Government has failed, over the last 13 years, to properly fund public services. “We remain committed to working in social partnership with the British Medical Association and NHS Employers, and we are grateful for the collaborative approach to ensuring patient safety is protected during the industrial action.
