The health secretary, Wes Streeting, had proposed the deal last week. It would have increased the number of training places to enable early-career doctors to start training in their chosen medical speciality but not increased their pay for the current financial year. Resident doctors overwhelmingly rejected the offer, by 83% to 17% on a 65% turnout. In all, 35,107 of the 55,000 resident medics who the BMA represents took part in the survey.
