The Health Secretary has said she is in “listening mode” over the junior doctors’ strikes as the walkout enters a second day. Victoria Atkins appeared on Good Morning Britain on Thursday (21 December) as thousands of junior doctors continue to strike over pay. Ms Atkins said: “I have hinted pretty clearly. I am very much in listening mode and I understand the concerns they are raising and I want to work with them. “I want to produce a package of measures which will help as they progress throughout their careers.”
