Sir – As the junior doctors’ industrial action continues, I urge the public to consider the real cause of the strike.
Doctors are striking to protect what they see happening to the NHS. The Government are putting politics before evidence; they seem tied to a manifesto promise when they have broken many others.
The current Health Secretary has made several misleading claims in the media which affected adversely public perception of the NHS. I ask simply: who do you trust? A millionaire minister who has written a book on how to dismantle the NHS, or committed health professionals who work in the NHS every day.
