Once again Wes Streeting has failed to convince the BMA & Resident Doctors that he his is a satisfactory pay offer; so they'll be on strike for six days from 7th April.

The militancy & truculence of the RDs is a clear indication that Streeting has failed to wi either their trust or goodwill; given most doctors have a vocational interest in health care, we can safely say they're pretty vexed with Streeting.

Time for a new Health Secretary?

@ChrisMayLA6 Will nobody think of the profiteers?

Private medical companies invested heavily in #WesStreeting when he was in opposition, to ensure that the #LINO government would lead to no diversion of the gravy train flowing their way.

Replacing #Streeting risks his replacement by someone slightly less committed to using the huge NHS budget to fatten #fatcats. It's a potential slippery slope to an #NHS run for patients, not profits. Totally irresponsible!
