Patients continue to “bear the brunt of industrial action”, health experts have said.
More than 113,000 operations, procedures and appointments were postponed due to the longest walkout in the history of the NHS, according to figures.
Junior doctors in England staged a six-day walkout from January 3 to January 9. And NHS England data shows it led to 113,779 inpatient and outpatient appointments being rescheduled.
Some 1.33 million have now been cancelled since December 2022.
During the latest walkout in England some 25,446 staff were absent at the peak of the action on January 3, NHS England said.
They are calling for a 35% pay rise.
Service leaders have warned the impact of the strikes could last for months.
NHS England’s national medical director Professor Sir Stephen Powis said: “The longest strike in NHS history has led to unprecedented disruption for patients and their families.”
Louise Ansari, chief executive at Healthwatch England, said: “These figures are a stark reminder it is patients bearing the brunt of the industrial action”.
