Longest-ever junior doctors walkout set to cost the health service £125 million
Former Conservative health minister Lord James Bethell told LBC he expects that cost will be much higher still.
"Ministers have put huge funds and focus on tackling waiting lists and many of those waiting lists were beginning to come down before the strikes began. I think there was a good chance they might have hit those targets if it weren’t for this industrial action."Junior doctors are paid between £30,000 and £58,000 a year, depending on their experience.
Freedom of Information requests revealed one in three NHS trusts in England forked out more than £3,000 for a single doctor’s shift last year.
