Academy of Medical Royal Colleges statement - Jeremy Hunt must start listening - Heidi Alexander
Heidi Alexander MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, responding to the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges’ statement on junior doctors, said:
“Jeremy Hunt must start listening to the growing chorus of medical and patient voices who are urging him to think again.
“Patients must always come first and it is time the Government accepted responsibility for their shambolic handling of these negotiations and returned to talks.
“Jeremy Hunt has four weeks until the next period of industrial action. It is vital that he uses that time to find a solution to this dispute that does not involve imposition. If he fails to do so the only losers will be patients.”
