Unite backs no confidence vote in Jeremy Hunt
UNITE urged MPs yesterday to back a “vote of no confidence” in Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt over his seven-day NHS plans.
MPs will consider on Monday whether Mr Hunt has “alienated the entire workforce of the NHS by threatening to impose a harsh contract and conditions on first consultants and soon the rest of the NHS staff.”
A petition calling for a vote of no confidence in Mr Hunt triggered the parliamentary debate after it received more than 220,000 signatures.
