Jeremy Hunt has been reprimanded by the speaker of the House of Commons for failing to listen to the criticisms raised about his handling of the junior doctors row.
Jeremy Hunt has refused a last ditch attempt to negotiate with the BMA and stop the two strikes planned for later this week.
The Health Secretary has announced that he will impose the new contract on NHS junior doctors without finding a compromise with the British Medical Association (BMA).
Junior doctors have begun a second 24-hour strike over safe working practices and changes to their pay structure after talks between the Department of Health and the British Medical Association (BMA) broke down.
The British Medical Association has called off the 48-hour junior doctors’ strike that had been scheduled to begin next Tuesday.
