I... wouldn't mind one bit paying more into the NHS on the proviso it does not provide more jobsworth admin and managers but actual medical staff and equipment.
Spot on Rich. My wife has just returned to being a front-line Doctor, having spent 10years co-opted into an NHS England Senior Management role. Her reason to change back? The increasingly corrosive culture created by non-clinical 'career managers' in the NHS with all their politicking, self-interest and tolerance of poor attitudes and performance amongst mid-level staff. How did the NHS get stolen from the clinicians?
Stuart that is a bit sad that your wife has relinquished her senior post due to the inherent failings of the present system it really is.
I hope all goes well with her return to practise, it will be very interesting to see how she finds the changes after a decade away from the hands on frontline maybe she will find it more satisfying.
When did the rot set in by removing the crucial decisions from the clinicians I'm ashamed to say I don't remember it happening, perhaps it was incumbent governments in stealth mode ?
