Having a jab may become a requirement to do certain things but actually getting a jab will never be forced upon someone. You of course won’t believe that because it wouldn’t suit.

Which is pretty much forced via the back door.

The only dangerous people I can see on this thread are the Covid fanatics like yourself jabbing everyone every 3-6 months regardless of age, health, side effects.

Doesn't matter if little Jimmy potentially suffers irreversible damage to his heart from Myocarditis from the jabs fcuk him so long as he doesn't get a sore throat from Omricon eh?

What’s myocarditis mate?

Just as an aside Legs, this isn't having a dig at the thread or the info he presents (as it's actually very useful) you know when people on here say how the NHS is underfunded etc.

And I can agree with that.

But, that bloke is on £250k a year. He's obviously a Union boss, kind of, but £250,000 a year...

Maybe he could take a wage drop.

This is my issue when I see posts about the NHS underfunding. It is underfunded, but it's also misfunded, with heads of organisations linked with it, and within the NHS itself, on far too much money, and people on the frontline of it not on enough.

To be fair, I don't begrudge anybody earning what they earn. There was a job, he asked for X amount and was given it. It's not his fault the job exists and that it pays that amount.
Also a pay drop would literally be a dropmon the ocean. Let's say 50%. It gets you 4 nurses. Not really anything to shout about.
The real waste is what you don't see. £1k a week for a room in supported accomodation, HMO's etc. £1-2k a week charged by care homes a week to look after the old folk.
Obscene amounts contractors are payed for simple jobs. Well above what should be paid.
I know of a ward where I work, that put in a new kitchen for the patients to use and cook there own food. £10k. Could have got the same thing from IKEA for £3k
The salary that goes on managers who mange the managers who manage the managers
Pointless jobs, like just no need for them.
I can think of 1 example on ours. We have 3 roles all doing exactly the same job, well I say same job. Out of those 3 roles, you never see 2 of them
There is so much waste.

You can buy some scales from Argos for £9.99

Lob "Medical" on the description, its £199.99. They do the exact same thing.

Times that several thousand scales, and well, you get the picture.

The lowest pay ratio between CEOs and average employee earnings in the FTSE 100 is 16, so this guy getting nine times the average salary doesn't suggest he's underpaid at all. For instance, my local trust has 22,000 staff and the CEO earns £178,000 a year. As this report from the King's Fund states:

Denigration of managers and the role they play in delivering high-quality health care will be damaging to the NHS and to patient care in the short and long term

Why should one person earn so much? I’m not downplaying the role he plays, it’s clearly important. £250k plus bonuses?

I do believe the NHS is underfunded. That’s on the government. It does however take up what, 60% of the tax (I’ll check on that, it’s off the top of my head). So I think it’s fair to say some funding goes to the wrong places/people
