UK says deal reached with medical unions which could end senior doctor strikes

The British government said on Monday it had reached an agreement with medical unions which could pave the way to an end to strike action by senior doctors.

The British Medical Association (BMA) and Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association (HCSA) trade unions will put the offer to their members for a vote in the coming weeks, the government said, with no further strike action to be called during that time.
