Jeremy Hunt exploits Paris attacks for political gain

‘The Department of Health (DH), headed by Jeremy Hunt, has been accused of editing a letter which uses the threat of terrorism to oppose strike action. The document referred to the Paris attacks to question how the NHS would respond if similar events occurred in the UK while the institution was left short-staffed by striking junior doctors.

The decision by junior doctors to strike follows Hunt’s failed attempts to put a positive spin on his plans to make junior doctors work even longer hours for less pay. This decision by Hunt risks damaging both medics and patients. And because the minister has been unwilling to come to a satisfactory compromise, junior doctors have been forced to take industrial action.

In 2009, Jeremy Hunt called for the NHS to be abolished, claiming it was “no longer relevant”. It, therefore, came as no surprise that his 2012 appointment as health secretary had a devastating effect on the NHS.’
