JUNIOR doctors care passionately for the NHS and NHS patients. 

Jeremy Hunt cares about his political future, and his failure to seek compromise with junior doctors is creating poor outcomes for patients. 

I support junior doctors to deliver positive patient outcomes, and I urge you to put political dogma to one side, and provide NHS patients with the care we expect. 

NHS employers should engage constructively with British Medical Association, in good faith, something that Jeremy Hunt has failed to put in place. 

His set of strikes are a blight on the NHS and yet again demonstrate that the Conservatives cannot be trusted with our NHS.
