Re: Junior Doctors Prepare For First Full Walk-Out
Strange that working hours are being used as a reason, when the current proposals were agreed at ACAS meetings in January, with the only outstanding issues being week-end pay rates.

As you know, we had resolved 15 of the 16 issues we agreed to discuss in the memorandum of understanding agreed with ACAS on 30 November and that you raised during the negotiations. These included safety issues such as maximum working hours as well as measures to improve the quality and experience of training for junior doctors. On the final unresolved issue of pay for weekend working, we remain willing to show flexibility and negotiate in good faith. It is therefore highly unfortunate that your team were not willing to discuss any compromise on this issue even though we have made clear that pay will be protected for all doctors working within contracted maximum hours.
