The latest escalation in the row between the government and junior doctors could ’cause real problems for patients and the NHS’.
The latest escalation in the row between the government and junior doctors could ’cause real problems for patients and the NHS’.
The government has agreed a deal with the BMA in the long-running dispute over the NHS junior doctors’ contract in England.
Junior doctors have begun their second all-out strike in England, walking out of routine and emergency care units in protest to Jeremy Hunt’s imposition of the new contract.
Jeremy Hunt has admitted that the first all-out junior doctors strike in the history of the NHS is a “bleak day”, but reiterated that the government would not back down over the imposition of the new contract.
Jeremy Hunt has refused a last ditch attempt to negotiate with the BMA and stop the two strikes planned for later this week.
