Asistan doktorlar maaşları nedeniyle greve çıktı

Resident doctors are taking part in an industrial action in a dispute over pay.

The 24-hour industrial action began at 07:00 BST on Monday and will end at 06:59 on Tuesday.

It comes after consultants and specialist doctors went on strike last week - the first time for these two groups of doctors in Northern Ireland.

Health Minister Mike Nesbitt said he remained committed to implementing this year's pay award but was currently unable to do so in the absence of an agreed budget.

Dr David Farren, chairman of the BMA's Northern Ireland consultants committee, said the resident doctor strike would be a "full walk out" rather than Christmas Day cover as it was for Thursday's strike.

He said consultants and specialist, associate specialist and speciality doctors will make sure that emergency and urgent care is prioritised.
