NHS doctors strike Tuesday over government pay reversal

Tens of thousands of resident doctors in England begin a six-day strike on Tuesday after the government withdrew a key element of its pay offer, prompting the BMA to resume industrial action. The NHS is urging patients to seek care as normal, though the health secretary has called the walkout "disappointing." It is the latest chapter in a dispute that has repeatedly disrupted NHS services over the past two years.
