Who needs an education?

We should provide grants to the most needed and most vocational training -nurses, doctors, radiographers etc.

Better, fund them fully, plus an element of living costs, conditional on a fixed pay back period of x years in the NHS, not private. Or, they pay it back in full from their income, irrespective how low it is.

Yes I agree.

Remind me

is this the same lot that cheered when they turned down the chance of a pay rise for nurses and other public servants?

They'd already accepted a 3 year pay deal the year before.
 
when was the last year that pensions didn't go up?
 
what's that got to do with the government favouring their favourites?

What do we need more of?

Pensioners or nurses?
 
Britain used to have a Prime Minister who didn't understand, and wrongly thought she knew better, and caused unnecessary damage to the country.[/QUOTE]

We don't have a shortage of economists, trade experts and virologists it seems. Facts don't matter feelings and beliefs do.

Nursing Bursaries are reinstated at a far lower level than they were, plus the Government actually charge them £9k fees. Previously the fees were paid back by the state.
It's no bloody wonder that there is a nursing shortage when willing nursing students cannot afford to train.
It used to be that all nurses got offered jobs after training (unless they failed) but the Government first cut back new posts, then recruitment, then started charging students for training.
It's almost as if they wanted the NHS to fail.

Correct.

Now on health boards they want to restrict the number of local health bodies who can represent users but have unlimited representative by private health providers.

There is a sickness amongst Tory MPs and their followers.

its because nursing became a degree course

universities are now private businesses and their business model is to make money for their shareholders

nursing costs £9k a year for tuition and about £5k a year for living costs

So net cost for a nurse is £27k to become qualified.....and then join an NHS which is on its knees and morale is at an all time low.

its simple greed -the NHS is an easy way to get money into their pockets

first you announce you are increasing the NHS nudget (a vote winner)
then you set up more private healthcare contracts
then you siphon NHS money into private healthcare businesses
then as a Tory MP you either have financial interests in a private healthcare business, or your wife or pet hamster.
