The new Health Secretary Wes Streeting says negotiations with junior doctors will begin next week in an attempt to end a long-running pay dispute.
The Ilford North MP said he spoke with the British Medical Association (BMA) on Friday ahead of starting fresh talks, as he branded the NHS “broken”.
The BMA described the call as “positive”. It has asked for a 35% rise, to make up for what it says are 15 years of below-inflation pay rises.
Mr Streeting said Labour had promised to begin negotiations as a matter of urgency “and that is what we are doing”.
