Lots of chatter about less public support for the RDs this time. But I don't think this should be much consolation for the Government. Streeting gave a strong impression in Opposition that he could fix this. If he can't the implications for him and the Government are BIG.

Now the public will see a Government that has raised NI to pay for the NHS and it still not being enough to avert strikes. How this plays out is going to once again dominate the NHS in the next few months.

The Government needed to resolve the RD dispute when it came in and were right to try and do so - to show 'change' and start work on the waiting list; but the spin since - of isn't everything so much better etc has been really overdone.

He seems surprised that this is happening. The mistake made here was to overplay the initial deal signed upon coming into Government that had apparently 'ended' the strikes. When of course there was always a chance this might happen.
Health Secretary @WesStreeting urges doctors not to put the progress made on the NHS "at risk" with "unnecessary and unreasonable" strike action. Resident doctors are set to strike for five days at the end of July. Read more ➡️ 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

'Where in this plan is the development of the NHS Outcomes Framework?'.
The government's 10-year health plan contains some transformational ideas, but is hampered by a misplaced focus on targets rather than outcomes, writes @AndrewDLansley.

'Is it perhaps a little more difficult than you first envisaged?'.
'Do you remember how in opposition, Wes Streeting said the government just needs to get in a room with the doctors and sort this out?'. The then Shadow Health Secretary told @NickFerrariLBC this 'countless times' - but the strikes are going ahead after a 28.9% pay rise.
