HALF of NHS bosses Jeremy Hunt said backed him DENY support for imposing new doctors contracts

Awkward: Jeremy Hunt’s letter of support is falling to pieces [Image: Vincent Cole].

Some of them say they support Hunt’s contract but don’t want it imposed unilaterally; some say Hunt is misrepresenting them because they weren’t asked the question he mentions.

Either way, Jeremy Hunt is a liar.

But you knew that already, didn’t you?

Half of the NHS bosses who Jeremy Hunt used to justify imposing new contracts on junior doctors have denied backing the move.

Announcing the decision to force the new deal on doctors to the House of Commons yesterday, Mr Hunt used a letter signed by 20 NHS Chief Executives, which he said supported his plan.

But 10 of the signatories have since said they thought the concessions Mr Hunt had made in his final offer were “fair and reasonable”, they disagree with forcing the contracts on medics.

Update – Susan Acott, of Dartford and Gravesham NHS released a statement opposing imposition of contracts this morning, taking the total to 11.

And one even claims the letter he was asked to support was different to the one presented by the Health Secretary.

    From childish lies about not understanding the expenses rules, when he was caught embezzling expenses, a corrupt relationship with Rupert Murdoch, to barefaced lies in order to fatally undermine the NHS. This man is thoroughly dishonest and totally unfit to hold any office at all.

      Are you trying to imply that their are Tory cabinet ministers who do NOT habitually lie their socks off?

        Not at all – I’m not commenting on that!

    The silly (h)nut believes in homeopathic medicine so he probably only needs the faintest sign of agreement from one NHS manager to claim case proved and an overwhelming majority.

    He doesn’t understand medicine, doctors, the NHS nor science. He’s a dangerous fool due to his ignorance and needs to go before he kills more people.

    Yet he has seemed sooooo convincing whenever I’ve seen him…….. but then so does Cameron (and we KNOW he’s full of brown stuff)!
