Leading figures in the NHS have attacked Jeremy Hunt for frightening the public and demoralising staff after he criticised some hospitals for only meeting minimum targets, it has been reported.
The representatives of GPs, nurses and physicians hit back at Heath Secretary following his speech at Nuffield Trust's health policy conference in Dorking, Surrey, when he warned that too many middle-of-the-road hospitals are "hitting targets but missing the point".
Dr Clare Gerada, chairwoman of the Royal College of GPs, said politicians should be looking inwardly and supporting staff. She told the Guardian: "The constant publicity about how bad the NHS is has the potential to frighten the people who need it most, who might think it's not a safe place to get the care they need."
