Scottish doctors voted to strike for the first time this month, accusing the Scottish Government of breaking a promise to restore pay. In a poll by the Scottish Committee of the British Medical Association (BMA), 92% of members voted in favor of strike action, with just over 3,000 of Scotland's 5,185 local doctors taking part (58%). The strike action is scheduled from 7 a.m. on Tuesday, January 13, to 7 a.m. on Saturday, January 17. In contrast, resident doctors in Wales voted to accept a new contract which includes an increase in basic pay, more flexible study leave and a review of barriers to training. The contract will replace the 2002 contract and was put forward by PhD and final year medical students, 83% (971 out of 1,176) voted to accept it.
