Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he could not solve all the problems faced by striking doctors within his first two years in the job, and hit out at the medics’ union for “pretending” he could.
Mr Streeting revealed on Sunday that he has written to the British Medical Association, asking to meet the entire Resident Doctors Committee, some of whom he described as “quite hard-lined”, rather than just its two chairs, who have led the negotiations so far.
