JUNIOR doctors in England have accepted the government’s offer of a 22% pay rise over two years, ending their long-running dispute reports the BBC.

Members of the British Medical Association backed the deal with 66% voting in favour. Nearly 46,000 took part in the online ballot.

It brings to an end the 18-month dispute, which saw junior doctors take part in 11 separate strikes.

But the BMA warned it expected more above-inflation pay rises in future years or there would be “consequences”.
