Abstract

The article reports on the public health and emergency doctors' opposition to a decision by health secretary Jeremy Hunt to link extra payments to hospital accident and emergency departments to flu vaccination rates among staff in Great Britain. The doctors believe that Hunt is taking the wrong approach to protect vulnerable patients. In September 2013, Hunt described how extra funds for emergency services for 2013-2014 would be allocated.
