The BMJ interview - Jeremy Hunt MP

from Medicine and Science from The BMJ · host The BMJ

Jeremy Hunt probably needs no introduction to our audience - the UK's longest serving health minister, he now chairs Westminster's Health and Social Care Committee - the powerful committee that holds the government to account for its policy choices. In this interview Gareth Iacobucci asks Hunt if he regrets his decision to impose the contract on junior doctors which lead to their industrial action, how workforce issues have left the NHS in a poor state to deal with a health emergency. They also talk about the potential for a public enquiry into the government's handling of the pandemic, and what an upcoming committee report into the same issue might find.
