The health secretary, Wes Streeting, has urged doctors’ union leaders to work with the government on its plans to change the NHS and to “stop sabre-rattling” on industrial action over pay.
Streeting said a damning report on Thursday by the peer Ara Darzi made it clear that the “status quo of managed decline is not an option, nor is simply pouring ever increasing amounts of taxpayers’ money into a broken model”.
