Ridiculous pension tax bill. Aged 49, 14 yrs as a Consultant Trauma Orthopaedic surgeon 26 yrs in NHS. a tax bill greater than what I have paid into the pension over the yr. Time to retire / reduce hrs / leave uk and work abroad @goldstone_tony @theresecoffey @KwasiKwarteng

We are so proud of the hard work of our colleagues to bring down our waiting lists for our patients. 💙

Today @DHSCgovuk is sharing some of the things we have done to achieve this.

Did you see us last night on @BBCNews? 📽️

@BBCHughPym's piece on the News at Six showed how hard our teams are working to bring down waiting lists. 👏

@bbcquestiontime Where the clip of the audience member right at the end informing the truth. BBC need to show for balance

‘A happy workforce is your responsibility. Staff aren’t happy. That’s your fault. That’s not good for patients.’

A junior doctor calls out prime minister @RishiSunak on @LBCNews this morning when he tried to blame record waiting lists on strikes, not on years of understaffing.

.@Jeremy_Hunt my wife and are NHS consultants. Our combined pension tax bill for the last year is £30k. So what do we do? Retire seems like the best option. Wave goodbye to our expertise. There is no incentive to stay.

Or you could change the rules. But you won’t.

Cheerio.

@Jeremy_Hunt @goldstone_tony @RishiSunak I am a 54 yr old surgeon. No private practice. Just been advised by IFA to retire or go 1/2 time & pull out of NHS pension due to impending unaffordable pension tax bills. About to breach lifetime allowance too. You said you’d fix it.

[Lucy Allan @lucyallan]

The new Chancellor knows this is a huge problem. He’s heard it from doctors first hand in person. Confident he will act 👇🏻

[Vishal Sharma @Vish_Sharm]

Really grateful to @wesstreeting and @Jeremy_Hunt for their support highlighting the “national scandal” of punitive pension taxation in the NHS. With this cross party support there really is no reason not to fix this once and for all on Nov 17. #taxunregistered #FixTheFinanceAct

[Justin Leong @justinwleong]

Dear Mr Hunt, as you so eloquently put it a month ago. I hope NHS workforce and pension issues are top of your agenda for your upcoming Autumn budget. NHS survival need someone sensible like you. @RishiSunak @goldstone_tony

[Daniel @dbab1981]

@SteveBarclay congrats on the job (again). Can you talk to @BMA_Pensions @goldstone_tony and finally sort out NHS pensions and pay. Thanking you in advance. @BMA_Consultants @BMA_JuniorDocs
