'Peacemaker' to negotiate end of doctors' strike

But the intervention by a "third party" can only happen if the doctors call off their upcoming three-day strike next month, a source close to the minister said.

It comes as health experts told the Sunday Express that the Government must now bring in an independent arbitrator, warning ongoing strikes could permanently damage the NHS because of growing waiting lists caused by cancelled appointments.

More than half a million appointments and operations have been cancelled by the industrial action of junior doctors, nurses and paramedics since December. Junior doctors in England are to walk out for 72 hours from June 14.
