JUNIOR doctors in England are to stage a fresh round of strikes next month after talks with the government failed to resolve a bitter row over pay.

The British Medical Association (BMA) said today that a 96-hour walkout will take place for shifts starting between 6.59am on Tuesday April 11 and the same time the following Saturday.

Health Secretary Steve Barclay has failed to make any “credible offer,” the union said, accusing the government of not being serious about resolving the dispute.
