FIVE DAY STRIKE

Hospital doctors in England to stage five-day strike

Junior doctors those below consultant level will walk out for five days from 7:00 am (0600 GMT) on July 13 until the same time on July 18, the British Medical Association said. The stoppage just after the NHS marks its 75th anniversary follows a 72 hour strike this month in opposition to the government's refusal to budge on its offer of a five-percent pay increase.
