Nursing shortage to increase by 1

An interesting read - all of it as various factors are mentioned. Sounds to me that areas that are in more desperate need may be worse off.

It's a fact that some have left because they feel they are being taken advantage of. Cope what ever. My son is living with one. Children's hospital and staffing levels are well below what they should be. She went into the job via the bursary. Rather annoyed that this resulted in less income initially compared to those going in now. Made up for now via further training but yet another example of a gov action not being as straight forwards as it appeared to be. Now it seems training is being speeded up some how according to one report. Looked like more use of dummies.

It's not that easy a job in a number of ways. That can encourage shorter working hours for some reduction in salary.

I know it's a nurse thread but a mentions worth making about why doctors are leaving on the scale they are.
Not really a problem that's bothered me but when a doctor's pension pot reaches a million it becomes liable to tax.(thresholds not risen in years)

Do they reach a million?
I suspect it's more of a case that they can afford to retire so do. Gov reckon they intend to do something about it. ?? ?? Maybe they will make all retirement methods mean at the same age as when a state pension becomes available.

Also that retirement rates don't match the intake of new ones.

Gordon brown put them on hundred grand a year back in 2007 So three days doing a bit for the nhs, a day or two private work. Soon mounts up.
Found this.

Brown to tackle £100,000 a year GPs over pay and hours

Gordon Brown is heading for a showdown with family doctors over their six-figure salaries. He will tell them to bring back proper out-of-hours care or effectively take a pay cut. GPs will be ordered to see patients in the evenings and at weekends

Except to say the NHS are picking up the tab on behalf of the GPs so they're no personally exposed

She's simply expressing her frustration at a section of society who willingly contribute to absolutely strangling the NHS to the point it's barely functioning and then expect full use of it when they need it.

I watched a Youtube video of a guy who built an X-ray machine for a couple hundred dollars because the hospital billed his insurance $68,000 for an X-Ray, the insurance company settles for about $8k leaving the guy with an excess of $2,500 to pay. He explains that he has good insurance which costs him approx. £8500 per year.

Is that the alternative you Tories would prefer over the NHS?

i saw the shocking comments she made but was happy a few seconds later when she said she would off course treat them
i took it as frustrated rant that went over the top but was corrected enough to be an"idiot foot in mouth " situation

It was a backtrack based on the audience reaction around her. People were justifiably shocked, and horrified. That was probably the point when she realised she could, and should, lose her job. Good riddance.

ok thanks a bit more context whilst i still have sympathy if it was a random rant this now seems more " sounding chamber " based where people get whipped to a frenzy because no one puts sense or Ballance into the situation just petrol to the fire making them think its a " normal reasonable " veiw
we need far far less knee jerk and far far more "well reasoned " with both sides well presented and respectfull

The NHS is Britain's biggest waste of money.

It's not it's there for all of us. Money wasted due to unskilled poor management and back handers however is rife
