Union and government to restart talks on ending doctor dispute

The article discusses the ongoing dispute between the British Medical Association (BMA) and the UK government regarding doctors' pay and working conditions. It states that both parties have agreed to restart talks in the coming weeks in an effort to reach a settlement. The dispute has led to 12 strikes by junior doctors, causing significant disruption to the healthcare system. The BMA believes there is a "window of opportunity" in the coming weeks to negotiate a resolution to the long-running conflict. The article notes that the government and the BMA have been engaged in a bitter dispute over issues such as pay, working hours, and patient safety. The restarting of talks is seen as a positive step towards finding a solution that satisfies both the doctors and the government. The article does not provide further details on the specific demands or positions of either side, but emphasizes the importance of reaching an agreement to end the ongoing industrial action and minimize the impact on patient care.
