      Dr Hamish Meldrum, the Chair of the BMA, says doctors will strike over changes to their pensions on June 21. It will be the first time in 37 years that doctors have taken industrial action. Ballot papers were sent to 104,000 doctors across the UK and there was a 50 per cent turnout. The results show that 63 per cent of GPs voted yes, 73 per cent of consultants, 81 per cent of juniors, 76 per cent of staff and associate specialist doctors, 34 per cent of occupational health doctors and 60 per cent of public health specialists.
