Wes Street is ready to keep discussions in the last term with doctors‘Union leaders In an effort to avoid five days of “very dangerous” NHS Defection later this month.
Junior doctors in England are defined on Strike from 7 a.m. on July 25 As part of a remuneration dispute with the government.
Teacher Robert WinstonA Work Peer who has become a familiar name thanks to his documentaries on the development of the child, warned the “very dangerous” industrial action Risks harm the public confidence in the profession.
But the new leader of British medical association (BMA) said the The payment request of 29% of doctors is “non -negotiable” and warned strikes could last for years.
Discussions should take place this week, however, Bbc reported that the Bma would only stop the strikes if it receives an offer that he can make to his members.
Mr. Streting previously declared to the union after the junior doctors had received a salary increase of 28.9% last year when the work entered governmentThe public would not understand why “you would always go out on strike, and nor either”.
A new survey also suggests that public support for such a strike has collapsed.
While the strikes of the doctor last summer saw public support of 52%, the industrial action scheduled for later this month is only supported by one in four (26%) of the public, the Ipsos survey revealed.
Mr. Streting said to House of Commons Thursday: “We put the NHS On the path of recovery, but we all know that the NHS is always suspended by a thread, and that the Bma threatens to shoot him. »»
Professor Winston resigned from the BMA after the announcement of the strike and urged the union to reconsider, saying that it is “important that doctors consider their own responsibility much more seriously”, and stressed that the ranging could cause “long -term damage” to the faith of people in doctors.
Johnsonwho was secretary of health For two years under Tony Blair And who was used to directing a union, said The independent: “This has all the signs of the BMA leading their troops to a battle they cannot win, and should not, since the government has honored the recommendations for wage review in full after having settled the dispute from last year immediately after taking office.
“I doubt that there is someone with a union experience who thinks that the BMA has chosen the right ground on which going to war with the government. It’s a battle Wes Street must win, ”he added.
Former Minister of Conservative Health Steve Brine too warned that strikes had the potential to “defeat the property” which had been made on the reduction of the NHS waiting lists.
Some 90% of voting resident doctors supported strike, while the BMA said that the participation rate was 55%.
The BMA was contacted for comments.
