00:00I think that's a really difficult question because the situation has changed slightly.
00:06I did support the doctor striking. I'm a public sector worker myself as a teacher and I have
00:15struggled to get a doctor's appointment on the odd occasion I've needed one. But I don't
00:19think that's had anything to do with the strikes. It's not a junior doctor I've needed to see.
00:24I think it's great that they've had a salary negotiation of 22%. I'm disappointed to see
00:29further strike action. I'm quite mixed on that feeling to be honest but I'm really impressed
00:36that the government's done something about it when the previous government didn't do
00:39anything about it. I think with the striking side of it, I understand. They do do a lot
00:46of hours. I've got family work in the NHS. They do a lot of hours. They're tired. It
00:53is getting out of hand now and something really needs to be done quickly because even myself
00:57personally have struggled to get an appointment.
