OMG! An extra £2bn for the NHS announced today!
However it was described as a 'down payment' for the future of the NHS:
- does that mean the NHS has been sold?
- or that it's now an HP agreement on the 'never never'?
No mention of whether any of this might be used to reward NHS staff for their 4 years of 'pay restraint', albeit involuntary. I predict another 'winter of discontent', and with great personal regret that many more times I - representing Trust management - will have to instruct my staff that they will need to pester their GP for documentary evidence should they unfortunately happen to be unwell on a strike day . . .
