It's hard to say, because I feel as if Hunt is too stuck in his shoes to offer a good compromise. Yes they've sat at the table and discussed it, but throwing money at doctors when their antisocial hours payments are being scrapped, won't get them to work more or work harder. Surely industrial action and much of the publics support for junior doctors tells Hunt that what he's imposing isn't fair?
Saturday shouldn't be classed as a working day, and the NHS is already providing a 7 day service. If he's trying to close this "inequality" in death rates, then getting doctors to work longer hours than they already do won't help.
It is true that eventually public support will die down like it has done for tube strikes, which is quite sad.
