Unhealthy to keep Hunt

i AM appalled at the lack of leadership and courage shown by theresa May in keeping Jeremy hunt as health secretary and just rebranding his job title, as a PR and damagelimitation exercise.

the number of mistakes this man has been responsible for is outrageous, from the strikes over junior doctors’ contracts, the it system collapse, the cancelling of operations and patients waiting outside hospitals in ambulances.

GORDON KENNEDY, Perth. i AM no fan of Jeremy hunt, but it seems harsh to blame him for cancelled operations.

We have cold weather, storms and icy roads and pavements, which, as well as winter flu, are bound to lead to an increase in the number of hospital admissions.

to use common sense and not schedule non-urgent surgery for December and January would have been sensible. highly paid nhs executives must take the blame for not doing their job. M. KENNEDY, Stockport, Gtr Manchester.
