2 weeks agoStreeting accuses doctors' union of acting 'like cartel'
Health secretary accuses the BMA of acting "like a cartel" and threatening the NHS as resident doctors begin a five-day strike over pay.
This is not where we wanted to be. We have spent the last week in talks with government, pressing the health secretary to end the scandal of doctors going unemployed. We know from our own survey half of second-year doctors in England are struggling to find jobs, their skills going to waste whilst millions of patients wait endlessly for treatment and shifts in hospitals go unfilled.
