"The NHS remains open for you this week as ever, please call 999 or come to A&E in an emergency, and use 111 online first if you need urgent but not life-threatening help."
"Staff across the NHS will be doing everything they can this week to keep patients safe and ensure people can continue to get the care they need."
"It is disappointing for patients and staff alike that the BMA has decided to press ahead with strikes this week, despite the deal we put to them which would have seen resident doctors 35.2% better off, on average, than they were four years ago."
Resident doctors in England are set to strike for six days due to the government retracting a key offer. The NHS is advising patients to attend appointments unless rescheduled. Emergency services remain operational, with patients encouraged to call 999 for life-threatening situations. NHS England is working to minimize disruption during the strike. The British Medical Association is advocating for a pay rise exceeding the government's 3.5% offer. The health secretary expressed disappointment over the strike decision, emphasizing the potential benefits of the proposed deal for doctors.
