Hunt has stood firm on his decision saying it is "not tenable"for him to give in to a union "if it's the wrong thing for patients".

See, although I am against Hunt on this issue,I am not that sure it is him,Andrew Lansley was the man steering that disastrous and damaging top down re-organisation of the NHS.
However he was not seen as presenting it the best way possible.
We then got Hunt put in as health Secretary and I think it was hoped he would be able to use more charm in getting controversial plans enacted.

However he too now is in the doghouse as to his treatment of NHS Junior Doctors and this shambles unfolding now too.

However, the man at the top is the one who can actually order a stop to this, as he did after the outcry against the original top down re-organisation when the Lib Dems were getting cold feet as to supporting it.
Hunt may just be a bit of a scapegoat here for the real plans originally drafted by this PM and Andrew Lansley.

Jeremy Hunt is a rather amiable and decent guy usually,I even welcomed his appointment in place of Lansley, however it still seems possible to me that he is not really doing his plans here but is being forced to continue the disastrous path as to the NHS which are really the ideas of this PM and te former HS Lansley.

I hope there could be a vote of no confidence in him now, it wouldn't be won of course but it should be a massive embarrassment to even have to have one for him.
I lay the blame for this likely more at the PMs door than Hunts.
