Part of Opposition Day — [8th allotted day] – in the House of Commons at 4:21 pm on 28 October 2015.
I am very grateful to the hon. Gentleman. Let me quote the editor of the British Medical Journal, who wrote to the Secretary of State on
“publicly misrepresented an academic article published in The BMJ”.
She asks him to clarify the statements that he has made in relation to the article to show that he fully understands the issues involves. She further says:
“Misusing data to mislead the public is not the way to achieve” the very best health service for patients and the public. The Health Secretary needs to be clear on exactly how reforming the junior doctor contract will deliver a seven-day NHS. He should set out how he plans to pay for seven-day services, and precisely which services he is talking about.
