Should doctors and nurses (and other healthcare professionals) be allowed to go on strike?

Thanks for dropping round to our latest poll.

As many of you may know there is a planned strike of junior doctors in the UK because of disputes over working hours in the NHS.  For a great overview of the issues in the UK and the root causes of the strike please check out this Metro article.

But it does prompt the question should doctors and nurses (and other healthcare providers) be allowed to take industrial action such as going on strike?

Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below as well as taking part in the poll.

Thanks very much in advance!
