DEVELOPING: Resident doctors launch 13th strike over unpaid wages in England.

Breaking News: Resident Doctors Launch 13th Strike Over Unpaid Wages in England Resident doctors in England have begun a five-day walkout, starting at 07:00 GMT, in protest of unpaid wages. This is the 13th strike by British Medical Association members in the long-running pay dispute. The strike will last until 07:00 Wednesday. Hospitals will face significant strain, with resident doctors making up about half the medical workforce. However, NHS England says patients should still attend appointments unless advised otherwise. The NHS aims to keep 95% of non-urgent work, such as hip and knee operations, going by re-deploying and offering overtime to consultants and other senior doctors. The pay dispute has been ongoing, with resident doctors seeking better compensation. Around a third of resident doctors are not BMA members and will not be participating in the strike. This is not the first time resident doctors have walked out, with a five-day strike taking place as recently as July. NHS England is working to minimize disruptions, but the strike will undoubtedly cause challenges for the healthcare system. The situation will continue to develop over the next five days, with updates to follow. This is a developing story, and we will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
