Wes Streeting: I don’t support the junior doctors’ strike

The Telegraph  

The fresh round of industrial action will follow this month’s three-day strike by junior doctors in support of their demand for a 35 per cent pay increase – a claim that ministers have said is unaffordable. Concerns over ‘mudslinging’ Mr Streeting urged the Government to engage in a “serious conversation” and spend “less time on Twitter and more time around the negotiating table”. “I’m very concerned by the breakdown in talks and the mudslinging that government ministers have been doing towards junior doctors. Mr Streeting warned of the “genuine risk of the patient safety”, with the walkout due to follow the four-day Easter bank holiday weekend.
