Junior doctors protest new plans for evening and weekend work - Daily Mail

Young medics (one pictured inset) warned the proposals by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt are 'dire' for the NHS and accused him of 'peddling vicious lies' as they walked from Waterloo Place to Parliament Square. Up to 20,000 demonstrators waved placards (main image), including some which represented people who couldn't attend the march because they were at work, as they chanted 'Hunt must go'. Critics argued the deal could mean pay cuts of up to 30 per cent, with 'normal hours' reclassified as being from 7am to 10pm, Monday to Saturday. Roshana Mehdian addressed the crowd through a loudspeaker, saying: 'We are protesting against an unfair and unsafe contract and this is showing our strength of feeling. We are here to show Jeremy Hunt that we will not accept that contract.'
