Dear 🇬🇧,
We have the fewest doctors and nurses pp among peer countries, & with the longest waiting list in NHS history, @UKLabour thinks it wise to punish patients further by taking away 1,000 future doctors. I’m sick of these games. @WesStreeting should resign.
#DoctorsStrike
I’ve seen someone else on here suggest that the retired doctor who wrote this was a “junior” doctor in 1974 when he was “happy with £7,500”
Just so we’re all clear on the maths:
£7,500 in 1974 in today’s money is:
🔹 £114,756 by RPI inflation.
🔸 £72,046 by CPI inflation.
@HSJnews "We will actively choose to provide a worse and less safe service to patients because we do not want to pay or train our staff appropriately."
That's what I heard.
Despicable.
@DoctorsVoteUK@BMAResidents
This is absurd. If we need 4,000 training places we should have them. If we don’t, the Prime Minister shouldn’t be offering them as a bribe paid for by the taxpayer.
BY HIS OWN ADMISSION!!
Now we know why Wes Streeting refuses to negotiate with NHS staff.
He wants the strikes to go ahead, so he can blame doctors and nurses for his failure.
Us juvenile delinquents perform brain surgery for £43/hr, singlehandedly take care of multiple wards overnight for ~£23/hr, deliver babies in distress for £38/hr.
Oh wait, no, sorry... that's what we're asking for, we actually earn much less. And some of us don't have jobs at all.
So hey @wesstreeting, how about less bleating?
