Reaction to junior doctor pay rise offer

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is writing to all 50,000 junior doctors in England in a last ditch attempt to persuade them not to take industrial action.
His letter includes fresh clarification on what the changes involve and a few small concessions.
Basic pay is to rise by 11%, but other elements, including what constitutes unsociable hours, are being curbed.
It comes as the British Medical Association prepares to ballot its members on industrial action.
The vote starts on Thursday and lasts two weeks.
Victoria Derbyshire presenter Joanna Gosling spoke to junior doctors Dr Janis Burns and Dr Nadia Masood for their reaction.
