ANOTHER 120,000 NHS appointments were cancelled in the unprecedented joint doctors\u2019 strikes this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The total for the year has now passed 1.1million, costing the NHS \u00a31.4billion, as the British Medical Association\u2019s walkout misery drags on.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

NHS medical director, Professor Sir Stephen Powis, called this week \u201cextraordinarily challenging\u201d.<\/p>\n

Both consultants and junior doctors went on strike together from Monday to Wednesday, with a total of around 26,000 staff off work each day.<\/p>\n

As a result, 122,441 more appointments, operations and treatments were called off.<\/p>\n

Prof Powis said: \u201cIt has been particularly difficult this week as we had little time to recover from the last round of action.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we approach the winter period, when we are under significantly more pressure, strikes are increasingly challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof Powis and England\u2019s chief nurse, Dame Ruth May, this week urged the BMA to tone down strikes because cancer and heart patients, and pregnant women, were at risk.<\/p>\n

Health Secretary Steve Barclay said: \u201cThis week\u2019s co-ordinated strike and the BMA\u2019s hard-line stance on providing strike day cover has clearly had a significant impact on patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cI share the concerns of NHS leaders about the risk to patient safety.\u201d
Junior doctors have now been on strike seven times this year and consultants four times.<\/p>\n

Sir Julian Hartley, of NHS Providers which represents hospital bosses, said: \u201cThe effects of this disruption will be felt for weeks and months to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis failure to resolve strikes is piling the pressure on the NHS and is having a huge impact on staff morale, resilience and teamwork, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
