The Guardian - Junior doctors’ strikes could run until general election
Summary of the front page
The Guardian reports junior doctors could keep striking for another year in their “bitter pay dispute with the government” despite the growing alarm from NHS leaders about patient care.
The paper says Tory “neglect” has been blamed for 3.6 million abandoned calls to NHS 111 in England in the past 12 months. It says the helpline is supposed to make it quicker and easier for patients to get the right advice or treatment they need but the paper says data produced for the Liberal Democrats suggests that callers are waiting so long to speak to someone, nearly one in five give up. The government says it is increasing the number of NHS 111 call handlers to 4,800.
