Junior doctors in England will strike on 13, 14 and 15 March, the British Medical Association has announced.

They want a pay increase to make up for 15 years of inflation.

The BMA says junior doctors have been left with no choice after the health secretary "refused to attend" a meeting to negotiate on pay.

Nearly 37,000 voted for strike action in a recent ballot, and it comes after recent strikes by nurses and ambulance workers.
