Interviews with Junior Doctors on strike in Wales

The video features discussions by co-chairs of the Welsh Junior Doctors Committee about the significant pay erosion faced by junior doctors in Wales over the past 15 years, leading to strikes. They highlight the inadequate pay of £13.65 per hour and demand a raise to £19 per hour. Despite public support, the Welsh Government's refusal to negotiate beyond a 5% pay rise has led to continued strikes. The speakers assure that patient safety is maintained during strikes, with experienced doctors covering shifts.
