Setting an end date to a strike kind of defeats the entire purpose.
The employer won't have to wonder how long its going to go on and can just wait out the strike.

6 days without Drs is pretty significant, though. It's a reflection of how crucial they are

And then they can do it again if they don't get a solution they are satisfied with. This is a significant action by these doctors, the longest strike the NHS has ever had, and it comes on top of more than a year of on/off industrial action.

Isn't the underlying situation just boilerplate conservative greed?

defund or otherwise mismanage public service
use the media to drum up a public outcry
step in and offer a MoRE eFfIciENt, private option
...
profit (then lower quality while raising prices until all the juice is squeezed)

I hope the government comes to their senses.
