Resident doctors will be given a 5.4% average pay rise this year - more than other doctors, nurses and teachers.

But they say it is not enough to make up for below-inflation pay awards since 2008 .

The British Medical Association says another 20% is needed to bring wages back to 2008 .

Streeting says a fresh bout of strikes would put attempts to rebuild NHS at risk.
