Strike two years ago strikes had a 'significant impact' The junior doctors' strikes in England two years ago had a 'significant impact' on patients - with thousands of appointments cancelled, a study shows.
The worst effects were when emergency care was withdrawn during the last periods of industrial action - the first time this had ever happened in the history of the NHS.
There were over nine percent (31,651) fewer admissions and nearly seven percent (23,895) less A&E attendances compared to the weeks before and after.
The number of expected outpatient appointments also fell by six percent (173,462), according to the findings published in BMJ Open. The Daily Mail
