The government has agreed a deal with the BMA in the long-running dispute over the NHS junior doctors’ contract in England.
The majority of the British public support the junior doctors in their row with the government over the imposition of a new contract widely regarded to be unfair and discriminatory, according to a new poll.
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.
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.
