SIR - Your online version published the opinion of Dr Amir Khan on the vote by GPs to only work Monday to Friday from 9 to 5. According to Dr Khan this is right because GPs work really hard and have families.

Might I point out that GPs are very well paid, average earnings over £100,000. And might I also point out that when Dr Khan takes his mum for Sunday lunch, does his supermarket shop on a Saturday morning or takes a taxi to the station for a train to appear on the TV somewhere, he relies on people to provide these services. People who work really hard and have families. People who, unlike GPs, are on very low wages.

A massive part of Bradford’s workforce don’t work Monday to Friday office hours. From nurses in the BRI and refuse collection teams seeing the dawn in, to cleaners in offices and factories, people are working shifts and antisocial hours. Maybe Dr Khan should consider them when he’s saying that he and other GPs are somehow hard done by.
