Half the country’s junior doctors are walking off the job again today as they continue to fight pay and work conditions. 

More than two thousand junior doctors with the Resident Doctors' Association are striking for 49 hours from today. 

They haven't reached an agreement with Health New Zealand on pay and working conditions. 

Dr Deborah Powell, National Secretary for the NZ Resident Doctors Association, told Andrew Dickens that the good news is that they’re still talking and working on it. 

However they still haven’t received a solution to the problems she said.
