Junior doctors are ramping up their threat to hold fresh strikes despite being offered an inflation-busting 5.4 per cent pay rise.
The British Medical Association (BMA), the union representing doctors, has slammed the pay rise as not going far enough to restore historical pay freezes.
Resident doctors, formerly known as junior doctors, have started to receive ballots for industrial action.
Labour ministers announced a series of public sector pay offers last week, including that most doctors would receive a 4 per cent pay rise.
Resident doctors are to receive an extra £750 on top of the uplift, which Health Secretary Wes Streeting said works out to be a 5.4 per cent rise.
