The Guardian: DAUK criticises this government’s handling of the NHS pensions tax crisis
This latest announcement – at best a stopgap – smacks of an electioneering gambit to deflect criticism of the Conservative party, who are solely responsible for this crisis.

Doctors should continue to take steps to reduce their commitments where necessary to avoid punitive tax bills
