This is not difficult to understand.
The Election Pledge for a routine 24/7 NHS is not sensible, viable or feasible without a detailed, cohesive plan, which the Government has not got.
Crucifying Junior Doctors is simply vindictive.

I am due to qualify as a doctor in August. I've worked for 8 years as a post-graduate to get to this stage, paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in fees, and now I'm not sure I will be able to stay in the job I love.

Mr Dalton, It is obvious that you have been negotiating within Hunt 'red lines' over unsocial hours. This is not negotiating in good faith. Rather than point the finger at the BMA, may I ask in future for a more honest letter of advice which reflects your inability to deliver an agreement because of DH inflexibility?

No other group of professionals accepts Saturday as a 'normal' working day paid at 'normal' rates, so why should doctors?

Mr Hunt is going out of his way to antagonize junior doctors. He is intent on dismantling the NHS. He is delighted to see them all go on strike. Problem is, how do you fight that?
He WANTS the NHS to fail. As soon as possible.

Dear Mr dalton ,I find it highly hypocritical that nhs management and executives can redefine normal working times for doctors but the same persons cannot be reached after 1700 on a weekday and do not work weekends. As doctors the gmc tells us to be leaders. Leaders should set the example. Why are our Nhs 'leaders ' exempt from such criteria?

The proposed contract - in its current form - continues to financially penalise doctors in training. We know that many doctors will receive a pay cut based on their ACTUAL salary for 2015/16 rather than on an arbitrary date. The tone is disappointingly disingenuous.
