Operation Strike

As junior doctors strike in England James consults the BMA's Welsh chair Dr Iona Collins

As junior doctors strike in England, James Williams meets Dr Iona Collins, the chair of the Wales council of the British Medical Association. Here in Wales junior doctors aren't on strike, they're in work. Why is that?
Pay negotiations start with the Welsh government next week, but if Westminster doesn't settle with the English doctors, where will the money come from for a separate settlement in Wales?
Plus… a big shift in the UK class system that most people are unaware of. Sociologist Dan Evans joins James to talk about the new Petite Bourgeoisie. Who are they? What do they want? And how can Porthcawl help us to understand them?
