AI Summary
Resident doctors in England will strike for four days from June 15-19, marking their 16th strike action over pay disputes with the government. The announcement followed a meeting with new Health Secretary James Murray, as the BMA argues that despite recent pay rises of 33% over four years, resident doctors earn about a fifth less than they did in 2008 when adjusted for inflation. BMA leadership stated that the new health secretary has not moved on pay negotiations or provided details on promised training jobs, forcing them to resume strike action.
