Nigel Dodds – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Nigel Dodds on 2015-11-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent discussions he has had with his counterparts in the devolved administrations on the reform of the junior doctors’ contract.

Ben Gummer

My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health is in regular dialogue with the devolved administrations. Health is a devolved matter and it is for each administration to decide whether to seek to reform junior doctors’ contracts. All four countries were party to the negotiations that the British Medical Association walked away from in October 2014.
