This statement comes ahead of a doctors' strike scheduled for November 13, 2025, where Streeting criticized the union's pay demands, suggesting they reflect greed among resident doctors in England. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the government and healthcare professionals regarding compensation and the sustainability of the NHS.

The situation highlights the complexities surrounding territorial disputes and the influence of technology companies in shaping perceptions of such issues.
