Junior doctors start third strike

The third strike by junior doctors in their contract row with the government in England is under way, lasting 48 hours.

More than 300 patients at hospitals serving Suffolk have been affected, having either outpatient appointments or operations cancelled. Emergency cover in hospitals is still being provided.

A Department of Health spokesman called the industrial action "irresponsible" and "unjustified".

Urology registrar Emma Gordon, who's on the picket line at West Suffolk Hospital, explained why they are striking.
