UK healthcare strikes: Does the British government have a plan?

Description

Nurses and Ambulance workers in Britain are walking off the job today. Monday's strike is the largest by healthcare workers and is expected to put further strain on the NHS. Industrial action has affected Britain's health care sector since late last year. Workers have been demanding pay increases to grapple with the on-going cost of living crisis. Rolling strikes will impact the NHS all week, with walkouts also planned for Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. FRANCE 24's correspondent in London Benedicte Paviot reports from a walkout.
