Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to meet with representatives of junior doctors to discuss their working conditions and pay.

We have regular meetings with representatives of the British Medical Association, including through the quarterly Social Partnership Forum. Junior doctors are currently in a four-year collectively agreed pay and contract reform deal from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2023. Through the NHS People Plan and People Promise we are modernising National Health Service working cultures to ensure that the NHS is an attractive place to work. This includes a focus on staff health and wellbeing, more support for flexible working and a commitment to tackling inequality.
