After screwing the Junior Doctors, withdrawing student nurse training bursaries and devising a tax system that sees Consultants paying more in tax than they earn by working extra hours, politicians now think the NHS and its staff are wonderful. (With a General Election so far away, I cannot see reason for this about turn, unless playing to the crowd perhaps?).
Very strange as the general public have always thought the NHS is the Jewel in our Crown, we know its staff always go the extra mile, work hours few of us would tolerate and are truly dedicated professionals.
It's one thing to vote like sheep because you are told to, another thing altogether to "laugh and cheer" (jeer?) after denying doctors extra pay.
Out of interest, can anyone out there explain why Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland all have devolved Regional Assemblies, but England does not?
