During Friday night's Sky Papers, presenter Mark Longhurst accidentally called health secretary Jeremy Hunt "Jeremy Cunt".
This just happened on Sky News.
"...plans to be introduced by the health secretary Jeremy Cunt...er, Hunt," Longhurst said, as can be heard in a footage tweeted by comedian Ricky Gervais.
The slip-up happened while describing The Times' report that Hunt is set to announce plans for overseas patients to pay to use A&E and ambulance services in the UK, which the newspaper ran on its front page on Saturday.
Tomorrow's front page: Foreigners to pay for emergency healthcare
Plans to charge all non-British residents to use emergency healthcare are expected to be introduced next month as part of a £500 million cost-saving exercise within the NHS.
It is thought to be part of a crackdown on "health tourism", or people travelling to the UK seeking free healthcare.
A source told the BBC that nobody would be turned away from an A&E department as the cost would be charged afterwards.
The British Medical Association (BMA) expressed concerns that doctors were being expected to "act as border guard" rather than treating the patients in front of them. "Any plans to charge migrants and short-term visitors need to be practical, economic and efficient," a spokesperson said.
A spokesperson for the Department of Health said:
International visitors are welcome to use the NHS, provided they pay for it – just as families living in the UK do through their taxes.
This government was the first to introduce tough measures to clamp down on migrants accessing NHS care and have always been clear we want to look at extending charges for non-EEA migrants.
No one will be denied urgent treatment, and vulnerable groups will continue to be exempt from charging.
The announcement is the latest of Hunt's plans to reform the NHS, which includes a controversial revision of junior doctors' contracts.
The new contract proposed by the health secretary would see "sociable working hours", for which junior doctors are paid a standard rate, change from 7am–7pm Monday–Friday to 7am–10pm Monday–Saturday.
The proposed contract would also remove incremental pay rises, with increases instead based on moving through the stages of training and taking on more responsibility. Doctors have said the new contract also removes safeguards that mean hospitals can be penalised for overworking juniors.
Earlier this week the BMA accused Hunt of "side-stepping" after he said that no doctor would face a pay cut under the new contract, before conceding that a "small minority" of doctors would lose money.
The BMA will ballot junior doctors on industrial action over the contract later this week.
