It came as medics in training in England began a five-day strike in the ongoing dispute over pay.
Labour has pledged to open discussions with junior doctors on July 5 if the party wins the General Election.
During a campaign visit to Staffordshire, Labour leader Sir Keir told reporters: “I don’t want these strikes to be going ahead. “Failure to resolve the dispute means more disruption for patients and staff, with more operations, scans and other care postponed on top of the 1.5 million already hit by industrial action across the NHS.”
He has said there is “space for a discussion” on pay, as well as negotiations on how to improve working conditions for medics in training. Asked about talks with Mr Streeting, Dr Robert Laurenson, co-chairman of the BMA’s junior doctors committee, said: “He is talking about things like ‘journey, not an event’ – we’re happy to have a multi-year pay deal. He has seemingly heard that and ‘journey, not an event’ matches that.”
