Nurses ‘essential’ but we ‘won’t miss’ GPs: readers react to NHS strikes

RHe contributed to the threat of new strike action by nurses and GPs. Independent Many of them sympathize with NHS workers, but are different about whether the walks are the right approach.

The Royal Nursing College (RCN) warned that its members felt “deep worthless, and after 91 percent of the government rejected the 3.6 percent wage offer, it will make a ballot for industrial action.

The GPS also told Minister Stephen Kinnock on the demands of the government on the demands of the government that increases tensions throughout NHS.

These new threats follow a five -day strike by resident doctors to refuse to give a 29 percent wage increase.

A few commentators said that nurses “doctors do the job” for much less wages and that they have pointed out the increases under inflation for years, increasing living costs and bad career progress as the valid reasons for industrial action. Mental health professionals were especially worthless.

Others criticized the GPS for high salaries and part -time hours, and argued that patient access worsen even without strike. Some readers said that if they went out, they would not “miss” GPS, but most of the nurses agreed.

A few readers questioned the effectiveness of the impact, while most of them called for emergency reform and investment to protect the qualified personnel and protect patient safety.

Here is what you have to say:

If they continue on the strike, I will not miss them

It’s almost impossible to make an appointment with a GP, so I won’t miss them if you go on a strike.

If I want a GP appointment, I accept that I will miss the nurses because they are medical officials. My daughter has a mental health nurse – she has two degrees and is valued by NHS and is not valued by others in the medical profession.

The fee is even worse for nurses for terrible and mental health professionals. However, I do not believe that the impact will solve wage and condition problems. The way to pay attention to the issue is to vote with his feet and to move abroad, to the private sector or to the medical profession.

Some will say that there are too many empty positions – accepted – but more will create permanent pressure, whereas a strike only causes temporary deterioration.

Nurses doing the work of doctors

Pay nurses properly, because they are now regularly playing roles in doctors’ opinion. As said many times, it is difficult to see your GP face to face. Seeing a nurse practitioner is now the norm, and you will only be directed to GP if necessary.

So why GPS is waiting for higher wages when nurses or trained practitioners do more? How many GPS works full -time compared to partial timers?

We must all be behind them

I am 100 percent of them. The money removed from the economy and given to shareholders – is not a word. We must all be behind them.

A long time ago, people were struck by pots and pans, they supported them – rightly.

The government is in hell to reduce wages and pensions. It’s time to keep up with this party.

NHS is priceless

It is clear that most workers in NHS feel worthless and low paid. For 14 years, a sarcastic Torah government undermined the standards of living for ideological reasons – ie full privatization.

Our NHS is priceless.

Voters must throw every government that does not finance it properly – because it is in our danger.

All workers will finally strike

Finally, if all workers decrease for a period of fifteen years and their living standards decrease.

It is naive to think otherwise.

If NHS fails, get ready to pay

I admit it is difficult to make a doctor’s appointment. We have to wait longer for an ambulance, and in A & E, there is still a very heavy accumulation in the waiting list – but it goes down, albeit slowly.

Despite access problems, when you receive NHS treatment, it remains extraordinary.

Since 2010, our doctors and nurses have made an effective payment, and in recent years, with the inflation explosion, our energy bills are doubled, our food is almost doubled, and many nurses applying to food banks are not surprising to be deported to Australia.

I understand that a skeleton economy to the current government, broken public services, the highest taxes since WW2, and almost doubled – but like any business, they will leave if you do not invest in your workers.

For the attacking unions, they are only workers who fight for equality, fair wages, working conditions and T & Cs.

Our NHS is a health system that needs to be proud of. It deserves the appropriate investment – and includes its workers.

For the British who are against investing in our NHS employees – I hope you are rich enough to get private health care. If NHS fails, you need to start saving for hundreds of pounds that will cost you in insurance every month.

Nothing for GPS

I fully understand the nurses – they deserve better. GP told me that they could not tell the results of scanning for four weeks. This is just a phone call. As far as I am worried, they don’t deserve anything. More, they can’t handle what they have now.

Isn’t £ 150,000 enough?

My local health center has four full -time GP. Average salaries are more than £ 150,000.

Isn’t that enough?

And it is almost impossible to make an appointment.

Shame on you nhs employees

Shame on you NHS workers. Just as I start to solve Starmer and Streeting NHS – I can verify it, because my doctors have a much better surgical appointments, and I have experienced two cataract operations for at least one week for the first eye and four weeks for the second.

You got a good increase last year and now you’re starting to destroy NHS.
