What is the junior doctors row about?

Andrew Neil looked at the row over junior doctors' pay and contracts, with Labour peer Baroness Bakewell, Conservative chairman of the Health Select Committee Dr Sarah Wollaston and junior doctor Anna Warrington.

The discussion came after junior doctors in England overwhelmingly voted in favour of going on strike in their dispute with ministers over a new contract.

Dr Wollaston said there had been "serious misrepresentation on both sides of the dispute" and said trust needed to be restored to resolve the dispute.

Dr Warrington accused Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt of badly mishandling the process, and claimed "he does not understand what is in the interests of the NHS".
