A “credible” pay offer aimed at resolving 15 years of wage erosion would be enough to stop a four-day strike by junior doctors in England, the Government has been told.

The British Medical Association (BMA) called on Health Secretary Steve Barclay to show he is serious about pay restoration for next week’s walkout to be halted.

The co-chairs of the BMA’s junior doctors committee expressed their “frustration” at the Government’s response to the dispute.
