James Anderson: Resident Doctors Association President on tomorrow morning's resident doctors' strike
2,500 resident doctors are striking across the country at 7am tomorrow, for 25 hours.
Mediation with Health New Zealand did not result in a settlement last week.
More than 2,000 doctors had been offered raises of up to 25 percent, but about 300 would have had a 12 percent pay cut.
Resident Doctors Association President James Anderson says the offer would have reduced their hourly rates.
"I think it's probably being used as a way to pay for the pay increases - I suspect they're trying to juggle the money around a little bit."
