The recent strike by resident doctors in the UK has sparked concerns about the future of the NHS and the strength of the union movement.
According to MP Wes Streeting, the strike undermines the union movement as it puts pressure on the healthcare system and leaves patients without the essential care they need.
This strike comes as the NHS is already facing significant challenges, with a shortage of staff and rising demand for services. The impact of the strike is evident in the decrease in turnout at hospitals across the country, as residents voice their frustration with working conditions and pay.
The question now is whether the NHS and Labour can survive another strike by resident doctors. With negotiations ongoing between the doctors' union and the government, the outcome remains uncertain.
As residents demand better working conditions and pay, the future of healthcare in the UK hangs in the balance. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
