BMA members have been balloted over a junior doctors strike, with the result expected on Monday,
The British Medical Association has accused the government of "reckless" behaviour ahead of the results of a strike ballot by junior doctors.
The Department of Health and Social Care said it had met with the BMA and other unions to discuss pay.Professor Banfield, the BMA's chair of council, said that Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Steve Barclay were "standing on the precipice of an historic mistake". Around 45,000 members of the BMA have been balloted on strike action, with the result of the vote expected on Monday.Like recent strikes by nurses and ambulance crews, the dispute centres around pay.
Professor Banfield also accused the government of "letting patients down", adding: "All NHS staff are standing up for our patients in a system that seems to have forgotten that valuing staff and their well-being is directly linked to patient safety and better outcomes of care."
