Resident doctors in England, represented by the British Medical Association (BMA), have voted overwhelmingly in favor of strike action amid a long-running pay dispute. More than 90% of the doctors supported the strike, which is set to begin on July 25 and continue for five consecutive days until July 30. The strike follows dissatisfaction with the government's pay offer, which includes a 5.4% increase for the current financial year and a 22% rise awarded the previous year. The BMA has criticized the 5.4% pay rise as "woefully inadequate" and "derisory," with resident doctors demanding a 29% pay increase. The doctors' real pay has reportedly fallen by 20% since 2008. The Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, has stated that the government will not negotiate further on pay, despite the ongoing dispute. The strike is expected to cause disruption to NHS services, including the cancellation of thousands of appointments and operations.
