Well, as always when a Govt. & top managers have lost trust of a public sector work-force, and fail to settle a long running industrial dispute, the next step is pretty much always the consideration of a ban on striking altogether.

So, you'll be unsurprised that NHS senior managers, after three years of on-off conflict with Resident Doctors, are asking Wes Streeting to consider a legal ban on strikes by doctors. Streeting has so far demurred but how much longer?

@ChrisMayLA6 I'm of the view that anyone who suggests doctors shouldn't be allowed to undertake industrial action shouldn't be allowed healthcare of any description.

Not just limited to operations in NHS hospitals- nothing in private hospitals, no ambulances, no therapies, no GP visits, not even aspirin for a headache or a plaster for a cut.

I honestly don't see this as a *less* extreme view than theirs.
