Commenting on the announced proposed strike action by resident doctors from 14th November, Alf Collins, Trustee at the Patients Association, said: 

"Should this strike go ahead, patients will again be left waiting in pain and uncertainty. For many patients and their carers, the threat alone of yet more industrial action will be devastating news and cause regrettable anxiety. And rightly so, as this wouldn't just be five days of disruption beginning on the 14th November, but would lead to weeks and potentially months of delays for patients as appointments and treatments are pushed back. We urge the government and the BMA to find a solution."
