Lee Anderson: Tory MP apologises to doctor over strike tweet
Conservative Party deputy chairman Lee Anderson has apologised to a doctor over a " misleading" Social Media post.
He offered his " sincerest apologies" to Tom Dolphin for any distress caused by a post on X, formerly Twitter, related to the ongoing junior doctors strike.
The MP has also agreed to pay £1,870 to The British Medical Association (BMA) strike fund to " compensate the upset I may have caused".
Dr Dolphin tweeted to thank Mr Anderson for his " very gracious apology".
On 6 October, in a tweet which appears to have been deleted, the MP for Ashfield shared a Mail Online article that reported Dr Dolphin had " boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift".
On Sunday, to say that his words had been misleading as Dr Dolphin " was not on strike on the date of The Shift in question but was simply covering a shift as a consultant for junior doctors who were on strike on 11 August 2023".
Mr Anderson, who is also a presenter on the Gb News channel, said that he understood Dr Dolphin had donated the pay for his covered shift to the BMA strike fund, and " whilst I do not agree with the strikes" This Was an unselfish act and he would make the same contribution to the fund.
Dr Dolphin responded to The Apology saying: " A very gracious apology, Thank You Lee Anderson .
" Thanks also for the donation. I hope it inspires others to donate to The Strike fund as well. "
The BMA said doctors had been " repeatedly misrepresented by the government during this industrial dispute" and said it was good the false claims about Dr Dolphin had been corrected.
Junior doctors have staged a series of strikes in the long-running dispute about pay and conditions in the NHS in England. The latest talks to try to resolve the dispute took place last week and have been described as " constructive".
