Doctor’s pay

After recent strikes, a Consultant earns £150,000 a year and will have a gold plated pension.

Junior doctors have held patients to ransom. If they choose to train as a GP they can look forward to a senior partner pay of £135,000 with no responsibility for cover out of hours during the week or the whole of the weekend.

Junior doctors in hospital complain about how little support they get from their consultants.

We the patient can’t get to see a GP in a timely fashion. This only rational way to get to see a Consultant is to go privately.

It seems to have been an intractable problem for a long time and one perhaps more likely to be improved by a Labour government, when the conservatives in power felt they couldn’t be seen to undermine or breakup the NHS.

In the meantime, the waiting lists get longer ,,,.
