Junior Doctors and Health Secretary Hold Promising Talks

Wes Streeting and BMA leaders see progress but acknowledge complex negotiations ahead

Junior doctors describe meeting with Health Secretary Wes Streeting as 'positive' and a 'first step'.
No immediate plans for further strikes, but future action not ruled out.
Streeting reiterates 35% pay demand is unaffordable, but expresses willingness to address other issues.
Both sides agree to continue discussions next week to find a resolution.
Strikes have caused significant disruption, with nearly 1.5 million appointments postponed.
