Petition Launch an Independent Inquiry into Hunt's Junior Doctor contract & 7day NHS plan

The Health Secretary has misrepresented data to claim a non-existent weekend mortality effect. The Public Accounts committee says his 7-day NHS plan is unfunded. His proposed contract has alienated a generation of doctors. We demand an Independent Inquiry into Hunt's actions and their consequences.
