Description

The 5 day resident doctor’s strike will go ahead from tomorrow in England, as planned, after the government's offer to postpone the action until the new year in order to alleviate NHS pressure was heartily rejected by BMA members.

If we trust doctor's with our lives, why shouldn't we trust them when they tell us they they have to go on strike?

This episode was recorded on the 16th of December. Catch James O'Brien weekdays from 10am on LBC.
