Young doctors are due to take to the streets of Belfast this weekend in support of their colleagues in England, who are protesting about the proposed changes to the junior doctors contracts. They say it will result in an increase in working hours from 60 to 90 a week and it will be routine for doctors to work 7am to 10pm on any day including weekends. They're being put forward by the UK's Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt and junior doctors are worried the contract changes will end up here too. So do you think Junior Doctors are already working hard enough and a tired doctor is a recipe for disaster? Or do you think they're more than well paid for what they do and should put in some extra hours. Stephen was joined by Doctor Michael Moran and writer Emma Woolf
