Head of BMA warns of huge job as Labour says it’s like ‘putting a fox in charge of a chicken coop’
Sajid Javid has been warned he has inherited “probably the most daunting in-tray” of big decisions involving the NHS of any health secretary in history after taking over from Matt Hancock.
The British Medical Association (BMA) said the need to complete the Covid vaccination programme, tackle the massive backlog of care that has built up during the pandemic and help choose the new boss of NHS England showed Javid needed to “hit the ground running”.
