THE British Medical Association (BMA) has criticised the “disappointing” comments from Labour’s shadow health secretary after he launched an attack on the “hostile” trade union.
In an interview with the Telegraph Wes Streeting targeted the BMA, which represents doctors and medical students, as he urged party colleagues to see the NHS as a “service not a shrine”.
He told the newspaper: “Given that we have committed to more staff, I cannot for the life of me understand why the BMA is so hostile to the idea that with more staff must come better standards for patients.
