After the Private sector "toffs" with their snouts in the trough, how about this for public sector "troughing."

Half a million pound payoffs and 1in 4 get another highly pain public sector job within a month.

Here I am sqad ! I'm not sure about this topic at all. The NHS that we were all so proud of seems to have got itself into a terrible tizz. Not sure what is to done. It is dying of a thousand cuts, or maybe a thousand enquires at the moment. Perhaps we ought to start all over again.

[baza]

sounds about the same as bankers and politicians, all rogues.

[Sqad]

Yer but......you are a nice "lefty".........i have hung this out for the vociferous lads.

[dave50]

In the lefties eyes, nobody who works in the NHS or indeed any of the public sector can do any wrong, they are all committed to public service. Heaven forbid that some might be in it for themselves.

[mikey4444]

Sqad...you say the nicest things ! But I hope nobody ever refers to me as a liberal-lefty !

[Sqad]

dave....LOL.

[Zeuhl]

Wasn't the commercialisation of the NHS in recent years supposed to encourage a more business-like and entrepreneurial style of management?

Well...

here it is.

Blimey Sqad where are you looking? I would hate to who these vociferous lads are.

This Liberal-Lefftie is one of the biggest trouble makers on the site, and there should be no place for such a person on this site.

[Zeuhl]

Fine.....i am all for it.......but at the cost to the taxpayer?

Where is my share of the "successful" company called the NHS?

I know Zeuhl....that was one of your "tongue in cheek " remarks and i fell...hook line and sinker........

Hello Chaps - another leftie reporting for a kicking.

This is all wrong - 'senior management' in the NHS has had huge salary hikes without delivering appropriate leadership - or accepting personal responsibility when things go wrong. To also be able to walk away with golden snouts is disgusting.

By and large they wouldn't last ten minutes in a truly commercial environment, yet they claim parity based on spurious comparisons of manpower and budgets.

Cap management salaries at a maximum multiplier of the basic clerical rate (say 5 times) and do the same for medics based on a junior nurse rate. Standard redundancy calculations should be the only 'loss of job' compensation.

Zeuhl............
\\\\you screwed a few quid out of it in your time LOL \\\

Naah! let me let you in on something......the only "real money" doctors make in the NHS is to give up clinical responsibility (not their salary though) and go into medical politics with the almost automatic £100,000 addition to your salary...nice, nice work.

Not me, I went into medicine to make money and the only way that you can do that is in Private Practice and to be good at your job.......that makes money.

Once you are in the NHS, you can sit back where mediocrity is not punished and take home a reasonable pay packet, with no competition.

Not for sqadddy.

[society]

Sqadddy, I bet you were darn good at your job, and you were a great and helpful doctor

[Sqad]

soc.......LOL.....some would say that i was a saviour, some wouldn't bring their dog to me.............

It is the same with all medical people......you can't please all the people all the time.

One gets to live with that.........but thanks anyway soc.

I think I'm one of the vociferous Lefties out for a kicking.

Ummm...where to begin?

NHS great...err...blah blah blah.

Have at it.
