Resident doctors in England have begun five days of strike action after rejecting the government’s latest offer
Wes Streeting, the health secretary, is giving evidence to the Commons health committee. There is a live feed here.
At the start of the hearing Layla Moran, the chair, said they would cover the resident doctors’ strike in the hearing, but she said she wanted to start with other topics.
At the health committee Wes Streeting is now being asked about strikes.
Alex McIntyre (Lab) starts by asking about what he says is the longest running strike in the NHS – the strike by phlebotomists in Gloucestershire.
