Junior doctors kick off second round of strike action in Wales

JUNIOR DOCTORS took to the picket lines again today in Wales to kick off the second round of a three-day strike action over pay.

Thousands of junior doctors in Wales are demanding a fairer deal after the Welsh government said that it could not afford to increase its 5 per cent pay offer. 

The 72-hour walkout until 7am on February 24 will see more than 3,000 doctors withdraw their labour across Wales and most planned operations postponed.
