Thousands are on strike
Junior doctors across the UK are in the middle of a three-day strike - the biggest by doctors in the history of the NHS. At the heart of their demands are a 35 per cent pay rise.
'We need staff working overtime to provide even a basic level of cover because there's not enough people to fill a rota' “None of us want to be on strike, we’d much rather be in hospital looking after our patients. “We are truly sorry that patients will be affected.

'Patients on corridors is now the norm' “[Things are so stretched at the moment] people are waiting in resus [an area for the sickest patients] for more than 12 hours.
