Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he has taken to avert further industrial action by junior doctors since the announcement of his intention to impose a new contract.
On 11 February 2016 the Secretary of State made an oral statement, Official Report, columns 1763-1765 in which he announced that he would proceed with the introduction of a new national contract for doctors in training, following advice that there was no realistic prospect of reaching agreement with the British Medical Association.
