GNews and bad news for NHS this week. The waiting lists fall into a small faster: May numbers, except yesterday, show The lowest waiting list of overall in two years, as well as the highest number of treatments been recorded. But yes, the lists are long, at 7.36 million, with 40% people waiting longer than 18 weeks.
Many Good News Today: Patients more satisfiedOr less satisfied, with GPS: 70% satisfied with GP contact and 75% reported a good overall experience. the Over 1,900 GPS and the rising rollout of NHS phone bookings 8am Fast-Finger-Finger Scramble.
The bad news is the resident of England (Junior) Doctors’ 90% of strike vote. The British Medical Association’s Hurry to attack the actionWith two weeks notice, difficult to patients with rapid cancellation and managers prepare for five days of distress, from 25 to 30 July. If anyone voted just to strengthen the position of union negotiation, they find themselves called fast. Why 45% failed to vote at all, if turnout at last time was 71%? Picket lines can be thin but NHS, in slow recovery, repeated again: with 11 Separate Walkatives between 2022 and 2024, 1.3m health appointments lost, Cost £ 1.5bn.
BMA can find a harmful union from some unions. Immediately after the election, the secretary secretary secretary, wes streeting, associated with resident doctors, which gives a 22.3% increase in two yearsand a more than inflation 5.4% this year: that is a Average pay increase of 28.9% over three years, which mean Starting salaries can be £ 9,500. Other NHS staff in England – nurses, midwives and physiotherapists – Offer 3.6%. It is impossible to imagine running by doctors’ New 29% claim – that, BMA says, it is necessary to return the cuts of the true term value of their salary from 2008.
Everyone wants to get back in 2008, before crashing the bankers; That’s true of teachers toowhose payment fell back, like the whole public sector. But it is a poorer, healing country, with growth without sadness, is referred to as others in the world events. The Public and Private Sector Pay has dropped over the past few yearsDespite a little uptick recently. People feel it in their shopping. If salaries grow in pre-crash rate, Public Pay may 56% higher, with private sector of 40% better. I know it’s a bad measurement, but the The Prime Minister’s salary 57% is lower than continuing inflation from 2009.
In this climate, doctors do not have sympathy. Their final wages increase from General NHS funds, paid by part by eliminating NHS England. Take service again for a 29% claim that is never possible. Although many taxes are raised, NHS has been taken 40% of the departmental spending.
BMA language is empty in times, as it is called offer “deboridad“And” insulting “, with co-chair saying that people”eager to go again“In strikes. For the last time, more than half the public backed by Doctors: Poll has been found in Imovov 48% opposite of increased strike action, with 39% of voters in favor.
I heard that there was a lot of complaints about the doctors’ strike, but it was expected that only a few dares to speak to the public. Clare Gerada, former President of the Royal College of GPS, deer. But his polite opposition took the poison of social media. In fact, he told me the high strike cost last time to spend time paying other doctors, with “consultants … get more than £ 3,000 to fill in a week”. Consultants also put down payment.
The 77,000 residents of England have good protest reasons – but are less than their careers. Their training is grueling compared to any other students. Due to abysmal stop-go planning by previous health secrets, 20,000 of them are tied to a bottleneck, with Five Apply for each training postfrom 2: 1 five years ago. The streets say he wants to talk to BMA about conditions: he just rules UK-trained doctors In advance for these posts to their youth trained in foreign, and created Nearly 2,000 more GP posts by changing finances’ finances.
Meanwhile, the 10-year street plan is welcomed by its enthusiasm for its principles – avoiding, neighborhood and electronic records – if there are doubts about delivery. We are to those who follow the NHS in decades are not enough fingers to sort the “long-term plans to appear from the space” which causes administrative storms, before one arrives. But it gets a fair air for local clinics starting in the poorest place, and Polling Public Support.
The popular need carried back NEWNational Teater’s Play about the NHS establishment. I saw it last Wednesday, the day after the strike was announced. Herbert Morrison, a doubtful, warned Bevan (Michael Sheen) “No minister of health to agree with any”, greeting knowing the gages of laughter from the audience.
Bevan replied: “Correct. So we need to cut the union.” Morrison was amazed at it from a left. “They are half class, that’s fine,” says Bevan, despite the more laughter from an audience that is so heavy, and they don’t have fun to support doctors. True, fought between NHS Staff and politicians rarely end well for health secretaries, but this moment BMA may have woke up.
The play ends with a list of facts that are fastened: “Within 10 years of NHS launched, child mortality falls by 50%.” Support for NHS is strong as before, but worrying about its condition is to remind if its improvement is blocked by strikes.
