UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting believed a deal was reached to end the ongoing strikes by doctors, but the government is now pushing for a ban on future industrial action. Conservative officials, including Kemi Badenoch, have vowed to outlaw strikes by NHS doctors, citing concerns about patient care.
This move follows widespread disruption as appointments and procedures are cancelled due to the current walkouts, leaving patients frustrated. Some argue the strikes have eroded public support for doctors.
The proposed ban faces significant opposition, and the situation remains highly charged as negotiations continue.
