Streeting: Doctors' strikes 'completely unreasonable'
Bristol Post
|July 10, 2025
HEALTH Secretary Wes Streeting has described planned strikes by resident doctors in England as “completely unreasonable”.
-
The British Medical Association announced that medics will walk out from 7am on July 25 until 7am on July 30.
Responding to the announcement, Mr Streeting said: “I wrote to the BMA this morning to offer to meet their committee and work with them to improve the working lives of resident doctors. Instead of talking, they've announced strikes.
“No trade union in British history has seen its members receive a 28.9% pay rise only to immediately respond with strikes, and the majority of BMA resident doctors didn’t vote to strike. This is completely unreasonable. The NHS recovery is hanging by a thread, and the BMA are threatening to pull it.
