The chief executive of St George's Hospital Trust has publicly disagreed with Jeremy Hunt's imposition of the new junior doctors contracts today.

Mr Hunt, the Health Secretary, told Parliament today that he had been asked by senior NHS figures to "end uncertainty" and impose the contracts.

Miles Scott was included in a list circulated by a member of the British Medical Assocation (BMA) of chief executive officers of NHS foundation trusts that had urged the Health Secretary to do whatever necessary to bring the contracts in after strike action.

Today: Jeremy Hunt accused of "bullying approach" in decision to force junior doctor contracts

Yesterday: Junior doctors walk out for 24 hours as contract negotiations fail again​

But Mr Scott tweeted this afternoon that he did not support the imposition of contracts, but did support the offer from the Department of Health. 

Mr Scott tweeted numerous times this afternoon: "To be clear, I supported the contract offer but not imposition."

He's not the only CEO to speak out 

Sir David Dalton, who put the letter together, has said that the letter signatories were not backing imposition of the contract.
