:02:35. > :02:39.by junior doctors across England unfolded. What do you remember of
:02:40. > :02:44.yesterday? Routine but not emergency care was affected, consultants like
:02:45. > :02:48.this one ready to cover where needed for their striking colleagues. Every
:02:49. > :02:54.patient who comes into hospital needs drugs prescribed, the sort of
:02:55. > :02:57.job a junior doctor would do. But some members of the public made
:02:58. > :03:03.plain their anger at the doctor 's actions. You swore a Hippocratic

:03:26. > :03:30.upset over it. Waited quite a while for my hysterectomy to be approved,

:03:39. > :03:43.Secretary and the doctors union meanwhile continued their verbal
:03:44. > :03:48.exchanges. In the end, this is a completely unnecessary dispute. We
:03:49. > :03:55.have some disagreements with the BMA overpay, but we all want to promise
:03:56. > :03:59.all patients who use the NHS the promise of the same high-quality
:04:00. > :04:02.care every day of the week. The government wants to introduce a
:04:03. > :04:05.contract that they say makes it easier to roster doctors around the
:04:06. > :04:09.clock. Well, I guess it would because they would remove a lot of
:04:10. > :04:12.the protections against overwork that are being put into contracts
:04:13. > :04:16.over the last 20 years or so and which, in that way, have helped
:04:17. > :04:20.protect patient safety. One hospital, Sandwell in the West
:04:21. > :04:23.Midlands, declared a major incident because of high patient numbers and
:04:24. > :04:27.said striking doctors should return to work. The union said that was in
:04:28. > :04:31.breach of a national agreement and the trust later said things were
:04:32. > :04:36.under control and dropped its request. The 24-hour action began
:04:37. > :04:42.today covers routine and nonemergency care. It will be
:04:43. > :04:45.extended to 48 hours on January 26. The one NHS chiefs are concerned
:04:46. > :04:49.about, assuming there is no breakthrough in talks, if a planned
:04:50. > :04:56.all-out strike on February the tetanus, covering all care including
:04:57. > :05:00.emergencies. -- the 10th. It may not come to that. Talks of ACAS are set
:05:01. > :05:04.to continue. Right now, there are a few signs of movement towards a
:05:05. > :05:07.lasting settlement of the doctors contract row.
:05:08. > :05:10.So, as we've heard, the argument is over how best to make sure that
:05:11. > :05:13.a patient admitted to hospital at the weekend gets just as good
:05:14. > :05:15.care as one who falls ill during the week.
:05:16. > :05:18.The government says the way junior doctors are paid will have
:05:19. > :05:21.to change, but the doctors argue that the current proposal will mean
:05:22. > :05:23.they are overstretched, putting patients in jeopardy.
:05:24. > :05:31.Our Home Editor Mark Easton looks at both sides of the argument.
:05:32. > :05:37.Both sides in this dispute say that patients are at the heart of what
:05:38. > :05:41.they are doing, accusing the other lot of only caring about money. So
:05:42. > :05:46.who is right? Let's look at what's involved. Who are the junior doctors
:05:47. > :05:49.first of all? There are actually 55,000 of them and they are not
:05:50. > :05:54.necessarily that junior. The term covers any qualified doctor who was
:05:55. > :05:58.not yet consultant or GP full the or been working in the NHS for just a
:05:59. > :06:06.few days or ten years. What they get paid varies hugely two. A salary of
:06:07. > :06:10.?23,000 is what's on offer for some newly qualified medics but there are
:06:11. > :06:13.top ups for anti-social hours, and, at the other end of the scale,
:06:14. > :06:18.salaries of more than ?70,000 plus extras across the board for
:06:19. > :06:24.registrars working with consultant taking life-and-death decisions.
:06:25. > :06:30.What's on offer now? An 11% increase in basic pay. But a 25% cut in the
:06:31. > :06:37.extra payments for those anti-social hours. And the scrapping of
:06:38. > :06:40.automatic incremental pay rises. The government calculates that three
:06:41. > :06:44.quarters of junior doctors will actually be better off, many see no
:06:45. > :06:48.difference at all, and just 1% will be worse off, that's the government
:06:49. > :06:56.says. The doctors dispute those numbers. Since the birth of the NHS,
:06:57. > :06:58.the relationship between government and doctors
:06:59. > :07:03.the relationship between government cool side. Aneurin Bevan said he
:07:04. > :07:08.only won the backing of consultants for the new health service by
:07:09. > :07:12.stuffing their mouths with gold. The last doctors pay strike in 1975 was
:07:13. > :07:16.over a proposed contract which would have forced them to abandon
:07:17. > :07:19.lucrative private practice, medics tend to be fiercely independent and
:07:20. > :07:25.hate being told what to do by politicians. And once again, the
:07:26. > :07:28.government finds itself at odds with doctors over funding their ambition
:07:29. > :07:33.for a seven day a week NHS in England. The government wants to
:07:34. > :07:37.continue to improve and develop services but hasn't really got the
:07:38. > :07:42.money to invest in that, and pay is a big part of NHS costs, more than
:07:43. > :07:46.two thirds of hospital budgets go on pay and hospitals are in deficit and
:07:47. > :07:53.heading for a deficit of about ?2 billion this year. The BMA says the
:07:54. > :07:56.proposed contract will be weakened and actually threaten patient
:07:57. > :08:01.safety. The government believes Sunday working weeks prove the
:08:02. > :08:05.patient experience -- improve. Today the NHS has been frustrated at best.
:08:06. > :08:07.That was Mark Easton. For her assessment on today's
:08:08. > :08:10.strike, we can speak to our Political Editor
:08:11. > :08:17.Laura Kuenssberg. Laura, the stoppages over in the
:08:18. > :08:21.morning but the argument will go on, isn't it? It certainly is, George,
:08:22. > :08:27.but when you talk to people inside government, they said they all know,
:08:28. > :08:30.the doctors, are going to lose. If you listen carefully to the words of
:08:31. > :08:35.politicians like the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, talking about
:08:36. > :08:38.how plans to change the NHS were in the Conservative manifesto and they
:08:39. > :08:41.are determined to stick to what they set out, saying this strike is
:08:42. > :08:45.unnecessary, there's a sense the end they believe they will get their
:08:46. > :08:50.way. It's worth noting also that the government does actually have the
:08:51. > :08:54.power to impose these changes, even if doctors continue resisting. They
:08:55. > :08:59.could just start changing contracts, maybe as early as next month, ring
:09:00. > :09:02.in new contracts rather than changing ones which exist, but they
:09:03. > :09:06.have the power to bring in these new terms and conditions even if there
:09:07. > :09:09.is not agreement. We are not yet at the stage where ministers are
:09:10. > :09:13.somehow throwing up their hands and just saying we want to put this
:09:14. > :09:18.through with brute force. There is a sense in government wants today's
:09:19. > :09:22.protests are finished, there's a couple of weeks before the next
:09:23. > :09:26.strike is planned, when they may be able to make some progress in the
:09:27. > :09:29.talks. There is no sense the government is about to abandon their
:09:30. > :09:33.efforts here. They are not in a mood to back down. They say the doors
:09:34. > :09:38.open to doctors leaders but are the turban to get, maybe not all, but
:09:39. > :09:39.certainly most of their way. Laura, thanks very much.
