Formation of an independent public inquiry into the governments 7 day NHS plans.

Closed 928 signatures

What the petition asks

The enforcement of the junior doctors contract shows how little respect the government has for the staff and patients of the NHS. The 7 day NHS plan from the conservative government has inadequate planning / resources and is based on the mis-representation of the weekend mortality statistics.

They are attempting to spread the current NHS workforce across 7 days and so weaken the service provided from Monday - Friday. The imposition of the contract on the junior doctors is simply a way of saving money. The government is going after all those who work in the NHS and morale has never been so low. The governments 7 day NHS plan is completely flawed as it provides no real additional staffing and an independent public inquiry would prove they do not have a workable and safe plan.
