Hospitals may experience significant disruptions due to imminent strikes by resident doctors, who are demanding a 29% pay rise. A ballot among these doctors is set to close soon, and NHS leaders are concerned about the impact on hospital appointments and procedures. Previous strikes led to extensive cancellations and unrest within the NHS, exacerbating treatment backlogs. A recent pay increase by the health secretary was deemed insufficient by the British Medical Association, which argues that residents face a 23% drop in salary value since 2008, warranting their current demands.

The British Medical Association claims that resident doctors deserve a 29% pay rise to restore the value of their pay after a 23% loss since 2008.
