Senior officials at one of the NHS' leading hospitals believe Jeremy Hunt should reverse his decision to impose a contract on England's junior doctors.
In an email seen by The Independent, the medical director of Addenbrookes Hospital, along with two senior colleagues, say they share junior doctors' concerns that the contract could have an "adverse impact" on patient safety, as well as affecting the training and quality of life of junior doctors.
They say they would rather see a negotiated settlement to the dispute between junior doctors and the Government, which has led the British Medical Association to call the first all-out strike by junior doctors in the history of the NHS.
The email, signed by Dr Jag Ahluwalia, the medical director of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Addenbrooke's, his deputy Dr John Firth and the trust's associate director of workforce Alison Risker, was sent to staff at the trust earlier this month to outline how doctors could help prepare for the likely implementation of the new contract.
