The British Medical Association has defended doctors striking at hospitals running at reduced capacity due to a significant cyber attack.
The BMA announced that some senior junior doctors would be given permission to work at the hospitals during the walkouts to “prevent dangerous delays to cancer care”, but said that “all other junior doctors, including at these trusts, still can and should strike”. Another doctor said that patient safety was “paramount”, and confirmed junior doctors would return to work should concerns be raised by NHS trusts.
“We used to have real standards in this country, patients used to be seen within four hours in A&E, and now you’re lucky to be seen within 12.”
