They also say themselves that "to assume that [the extra deaths] are avoidable would be rash and misleading". This coming from an author whom supports 7 day services.<br /><br />2) IT IS NOT ABOUT PAY. This is a side matter - no doctor in the right mind would hold a full walkout over their pay, ever.<br /><br />3) The NHS currently runs on good will. Junior doctors (and many other NHS employees) consistently extra hours beyond what they are paid in order to maintain a safe level of care. To think it would be possible to stretch this system any further shows a total misunderstanding of the NHS. Stretching elective cover over 7 days will not be safe for patients.<br /><br />4) In the government's own equality impact assessment, they state: "any indirect adverse effect on women is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim". The Equalities Commission watchdog has referred the junior doctors contract to the UN for breaching women's rights and equalities standards, citing it as "potentially illegal".<br /><br />The NHS needs extra funding. No ifs, no buts. Only extra funding of the current services will improve this failing system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
