We'll be looking into the claim by the doctors' union – the BMA – for higher pay for resident doctors in England.
The government has offered a 5% rise but the BMA says pay – in real terms (so allowing for the impact of inflation) - is down 20% since 2008 and has voted in favour of strike action.
There was an interesting discussion involving the BMA on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning about how they are getting to that figure and BBC Verify examining it.
