00:00I think the BMA are doing the wrong thing for sure. This is a very difficult time of year as we know.
00:05The winter is always difficult in the NHS but we have higher levels of flu at this time of year than we have at any point in the last five years.
00:12So this is the wrong decision from them particularly after they had such a large uplift in their pay already
00:19and the Secretary of State had offered a raft of interventions around more specialist training places.
00:26So this is the wrong decision but it's important to say that anybody who is ill should come forward in exactly the same way they normally would.
00:33An emergency, call 999, go to A&E. A non-emergency, go to your GP, call 111 and do do that because all of our health system is working to mitigate this strike
00:45and make sure people still get the care and support they need.
