BMA says request to return to work is down to ‘political pressure’ rather than ‘patient safety’
The British Medical Association has accused NHS chiefs of bowing to political pressure in a patient safety row over striking junior doctors being called back to work.
The doctors’ union criticised NHS England, saying the process by which medics may be called back to the frontline in “extreme circumstances” risked total collapse because of a failure by health bosses to follow it.
