NHS A&E departments 'left unsafe by political meddling'

Family doctors are not prepared to shore up an emergency healthcare system left unsafe by "political meddling", a GP has warned.

British Medical Association GP chairman Dr Laurence Buckman has given a speech pointing out the problems that lead to overstretched hospital A&E departments.

He accused Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt of being more interested in bashing doctors and spouting "rubbish".
