| Junior doctors were not very happy at Lucy Allan |
A Tory MP has come under attack for claiming “privileged” junior doctors “hold the NHS to ransom”.
More
than 1,000 people denounced Telford MP Lucy Allan on her Facebook page after
she used the social network to hit out at striking medics.
She
wrote on Saturday: “Hard-working people in Telford don't get why privileged
trainee doctors, on course to earn £100,000 plus, will hold NHS to ransom and
deprive ordinary people of emergency care. I don't get it either.”
Despite
provoking a furious backlash she added today: “It's a profession with
prospects.
"The
more we pay doctors the less money there is for nurses, receptionists, porters,
paramedics and all the other key people who make up our NHS.”
