125,000 operations and outpatients’ appointments cancelled in UK ahead of junior doctors’ strike
More than 125,000 operations and outpatients’ appointments have been cancelled ahead of the two-day action which for the first time will affect Accident & Emergency, intensive care and maternity units.
A full walkout by junior doctors on Tuesday will cause an “unacceptable” risk of patient deaths, Jeremy Hunt has warned, as new figures show one in three hospitals are already in crisis ahead of the strikes, according to The Telegraph.
The Health Secretary has urged the British Medical Association (BMA) to “put patients first”, saying it was not too late to call off strikes which could have “deeply worrying” consequences.
It came amid warnings from experts that hospitals were “overflowing with patients”, with 38 per cent of hospitals forced to take emergency measures to cope with demand in recent months.
Mr Hunt on Sunday night urged doctors to think again. “This proposed withdrawal of potentially life-saving care will worry people all over our country, and unacceptably brings into question the safety of patients who depend on the NHS,” he said.
“Taking that action is a choice, and so I am calling on the BMA to put patients first.”
