00:00I would say please listen to the Health Secretary. He has heard resident doctors

00:05when they said that jobs are a problem. He and the NHS leadership have worked

00:10really hard to find new training opportunities because the previous

00:14government increased the number of training of medical school places but

00:19not the training places that you need. So we're going to address that as doctors

00:22have asked us to. We're also finding ways to put more money into doctors' pockets

00:27through dealing with some of the fees. The problem is that the BMA leadership have

00:33chosen not to respond well to this proposal. We all want these strikes to

00:38end so I would just ask doctors to engage with the proposals put forward by the

00:42Health Secretary.
