Junior doctors reject 'final' offer

Junior doctors' leaders have rejected a "final take-it-or-leave-it" offer made by government to settle the bitter contract dispute in England.

The offer included a concession on Saturday pay, but the British Medical Association said it was not enough.

The development is expected to lead ministers to announce that they are going to impose a contract on doctors.

The news has emerged as doctors take part in their second 24-hour strike - due to end at 08:00 GMT on Thursday.
