Doctors vote in favour of industrial action
A majority of doctors have voted in favour of taking industrial action over changes to their pensions.
The British Medical Association balloted over 100,000 medics across the UK on the government's plans which it claims are unfair.
Just over 50,000 responded, with 79% of GPs, 84% of hospital consultants and 92% of junior doctors voting in favour.
The union's leadership will confirm its plans later, having previously said non-urgent care would be targeted.
The ballot does give the union a mandate for a strike, but it has already ruled this out.
For more on this see the BBC News website.
