My surgery has often been like that. But you are of course right that the problem is down to political mismanagement. |

My friend used to work on an emergency admissions ward, doing 3 nights a week, for whatever the standard pay for his band was. After a couple of years of this, he switched to agency work. Same job, same ward, only he was covering unfilled shifts at short notice, and was getting three times as much money. Think he even registered himself as a company to reduce the tax he paid. |

I was reading a Graun article this morning and it kept putting repeated emphasis on how the nurses wages aren't enough to live on. Now, I agree nurses get paid too little, but they start at band 5, and if that's "not enough to live on then just how the fuck do they think people in bands 2, 3 and 4 survive (band 1 no longerexist.sexists because it was overtaken by the minimum wage.) |

NHS workers are asking for a 19% raise, and Oliver Dowden, the world's ugliest politician, went on the news to say we couldn't possibly afford such a sum. Now, that sounds reasonable, but: |

I'm not sure analysis of performance even should be adjusted taking those lifestyle and environmental factors into account, as though they're independent of the health body. Your GP will tell you to eat less lard or to take more exercise, and the NHS as a whole does stuff like publicity campaigns to make us run more, drink less or eat less lard. They're not just A&E and surgery, they advise on preventative measures too and the efficacy of that should probably be assessed with the rest of it. |

They were on about the ambulance strike on Jeremy Vine's radio show. They had lots of paramedics and 999 call centre workers ringing in to say that people are abusing the system by requesting ambulances if they've got a tummy ache or small graze. They've undoubtedly got a point, but the message of the show was clearly blaming the public for abusing the system and taking the NHS for granted rather than holding the government accountable in any way. |

Saw the video of that husband calling in to Nick Ferrari's radio show to carry on an argument about going on strike that he lost with his wife, who's a teacher. Absolutely pathetic. There's no way she isn't going to have an affair. |

I didn't have my pay deducted last month for the strike. Obviously I didn't think to make any noise about it and just assumed that they would eventually take it out of some future pay. Or forget. Now I'm hearing that some people had two days pay deducted and their employer has told them they will be paid the missing monies on their next paycheque. |
