I think the key issue here is Doctors already agreed to reform in 2008 which led to increased contributions. It's one thing to reform a system which is decades old and the deal people signed up with will have to change, it's another to go back on a deal from only 4 years ago.

If you make a deal you expect it to be honoured. If the Doctors agreed to the latest reforms what's to stop the Government further reforming it again in 4/5 years time? Where does it stop?
