NHS under severe pressure as Junior Doctors strike

The NHS in England is under “severe pressure” as junior doctors continue strike action across England, health leaders have said.

Professor Sir Stephen Powis, national medical director for NHS England, said staff are working “extremely hard to prioritise life-saving care”.

Junior doctors have walked out for the 10th time since March as the bitter row with the Government over pay continues.

Sir Stephen said: “Staff and services continue to be under significant pressure as the NHS deals with the impact of industrial action and an already busy winter period, and they are working extremely hard to prioritise life-saving care.”
