During Question Time an unnamed doctor branded Jeremy Hunt a “lair” over his claims that the upcoming strike will cause serious harm to patients. The doctor personally said he would ensure people would be safe in his hospital during the industrial action.
He also added that the claims by a Conservative peer, Lord Julian Fellowes that there are 11k more deaths over the weekend, is wrong.
