Junior doctors are preparing to boycott a review into falling morale among medics, the Guardian understands, casting doubt on the inquiry, which was announced on the same day the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, vowed to impose a controversial new contract.
The Department of Health may now be forced to overhaul the terms of the independent review of junior doctors’ poor morale, announced by Hunt earlier this month.
The review is being led by Prof Dame Sue Bailey, chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, but junior doctors’ representatives have said they were not prepared to discuss general issues of morale at a time of industrial dispute over working hours and wages, a topic the review specifically excludes.

Just ridiculous to even announce such a review on the same day that Hunt said he would impose the contract - what a complete waste of time and money anyway, and ignoring one of the chief factors beggars belief 😱
