This is not yet secured as accepted,it also has next to nothing to do with Saturday pay either, it is about the stretching out of the same people,well actually less than there were before already, over providing a longer service while still expecting no standards to slip in order to do so with nowhere near the funding being put in to cover same too.
It wouldn't surprise me if the vote was close or that it got rejected again and if it was, I would still support the Junior Doctors.

You are wrong. your party, the labour party allowed GP's to opt out of all out of hours work with their insane contract in 2004. This is entirely labours fault. They then set up the appalling nhs direct where you phone amateurs for medical advice. You deliberately ignore all of this, even though this is where the problem started. Ive pointed this glaring fact out to you umpteen times and you deliberately ignore it. You ignore this as its not part of your tory bashing agenda.

Without all gps weeknights and weekends you have massive problems and it all falls onto the hospital doctors.

secondly youre 100% wrong about the contract. this is 19 hours fewer hours maximum per doctor , so theyre working fewer hours not more. To say otherwise is a lie

thirdly the tories have been smart in finally detting doctors to work shift patterns like everyone else. this means you spread the weekend workload across all junior doctors. previously way too many hours fell on too few doctors and the majority got off from working weekends totally. with a crazy 91 hour maximum hour working limit per week under labour. That is a fact, to say otherwise is simply untrue

we now have a chance of a proper 7 day nhs. the tories have pumped in £8 billion more per annum into the nhs than labour. labour run nhs wales which is a disaster and theyre miles behind nearly every waiting list. nhs wales is a disaster
