Junior doctors 'overwhelmingly back strikes'

Junior doctors 'overwhelmingly back strikes' Junior doctors have overwhelmingly voted in favour of going on strike in their dispute with ministers over a new contract.

Some 98% voted in favour of a full strike and 99% in favour of action just short of a full strike.

The first walk-out will take place on 1 December with another two dates earmarked for later in the month. BBC News
