I find it a bit rich that at a time when they're making a whole lot of noise about 'caring for patients' and 'saving the NHS' they're at the same time threatening to leave it if they don't get their way. Now who will that hurt most of all? The patients and the NHS I'd say.

But what alternative do they have if the government has walked away from negotiating and won't even consider cross party compromise suggestions ? What action do you suggest they take instead ? It's hardly the most militant of actions 8 to 5 pm for 2 days, with emergencies being covered by consultants.
Seems the Govt. wants a 'political win' and to hell with the consequences for the future of the NHS. Not that they and their private healthcare chums are really bothered about the NHS anyway; it almost as if it's is being set up to fail to clear they way for privatisation.
