Senior doctors and dentists are heading into their fourth round of negotiations with health agency Te Whatu Ora today, following an unprecedented strike yesterday.
5,500 workers joined picket lines from Whangārei to Invercargill, arguing that the pay proposals so far haven't kept up with inflation.
