Doctors take fight for fair contract to Hunt’s door
Health Secretary’s rota plans ‘cannot be allowed’

JEREMY HUNT got a home visit yesterday from more than a hundred junior doctors, who took their strike over his “unsafe” new contract right to the Department of Health.

More than 50,000 members of the British Medical Association (BMA) across England downed stethoscopes for the fourth time in a six-month dispute with the Tory Health Secretary.

Medics reluctantly walked out of hospital wards for 48 hours from 8am, braving pouring rain to form picket lines and talk to patients and the public about the dangers of Mr Hunt’s plan.
