RCSEd President Mr Michael Lavelle-Jones, alongside 13 other members of other Royal Colleges, has written and signed a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron calling on him to intervene in the Junior Doctors contract dispute:
Dear Prime Minister,
You have spoken many times about your commitment to the NHS. In our view, as leaders of the medical profession, the ongoing impasse in the dispute between Government and junior doctors poses a significant threat to our whole healthcare system by demoralising a group of staff on whom the future of the NHS depends. At this eleventh hour, we call upon you to intervene, bring both parties back to the negotiating table, end this damaging stand-off, and initiate an honest debate about the serious difficulties facing UK health services.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Michael Lavelle Jones, President of the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh
Professor Neena Modi, President, Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
Dr Liam Brennan, President, Royal College of Anaesthetists
Professor Derek Bell, President, Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh
Professor Jane Dacre, President, Royal College of Physicians London
Dr Suzy Lishman, President, Royal College of Pathologists
Dr Giles Maskell, President, Royal College of Radiologists
Dr David Richmond, President, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
Professor David Galloway, President, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow
Professor Maureen Baker, Chair, Royal College of General Practitioners
Dr Chris Wilkinson, President, Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare
Dr Anna Batchelor, Dean, Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine
Professor Carrie McEwan, President, Royal College of Ophthalmologists
Professor Alan Boyd, President, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine
