The news broke this week that the British Medical Association (BMA) will be staging three further 48-hour strikes over the planned imposition of the Junior Doctors' Contract by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. They’re also launching a legal challenge of his actions.
In a statement, the BMA said: “Imposing this contract will seriously undermine the ability of the NHS to recruit and retain junior doctors in areas of medicine with the most unsocial areas (sic), where there are already staffing shortages. The Government must listen to the chorus of concern coming from all quarters and reconsider this disastrous approach.”
