REaction for danger of New strike action by nurses and GP Has created an emotional debate between Independent With many sympathy for readers, NHS workers, but varying to whether the walkout is the right approach.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has warned its members to feel “deeply evaluated” and will vote for industrial action after 91 percent after rejecting the government’s 3.6 percent salary proposal.
GPS has also told Minister Stephen Kinnok that the government should take action on its demands to “avoid future disputes” to increase tension in NHS.
These latest threats follow the five -day walkout by the resident doctors on the government’s refusal to give 29 percent of the government’s salary increase.
Several commentators stated that nurses “doctors are working” for low pay, and to the years of growth in the bottom years, the increasing cost of life and the progression of poor career is as valid reasons for industrial action. Mental health professionals were excluded as an especially underwellood.
Others criticized GP for high salary and part -time hours, arguing that the patient has deteriorated without reaching. Some readers said that if they go out they would not miss GPS “, although most of the nurses agreed.
While some readers questioned the effectiveness of the striking, the most skilled employees were called for immediate improvement and investment to maintain patient safety.
What did you say here:
If they go on strike I will not remember them
Get an appointment with GP is almost impossible, so I will not miss them for one if they go on strike.
I admit that I will miss nurses, because they are Medics that I see if I ask for GP appointment. My daughter is a mental health nurse – she has two degrees and is evaluated by NHS and is not valued by others in the medical profession.
Salary is terrible for nurses and mental health is also worse for professionals. However, I do not believe that the striking will solve the problems of salaries and situations. The way to create points is to vote with their feet and exit from abroad, in private sector, or medical profession.
Some would say that there are many vacancies already – agree – but even more permanent pressure will be put under pressure, while a strike only causes temporary disruption.

Doctors working nurse
Pay the nurses properly, as they now play a role once regularly in the scope of doctors. As stated many times, it is difficult to see your GP face to face. It is now ideal to see a nurse businessman, and only if necessary you are referred to for GP.
So why do nurses or trained doctors expect high salary when more trained doctors are doing more? How many GPs do full-time work compared to part-timer?

We all should follow them
I am 100 percent behind them. The money that has been withdrawn from the economy and given to the shareholders – not a word. We all should follow them.
It was not long ago that people were doing utensils and pans, supporting them – okay.
The government is hell-folding on reducing wages and pension. This is about the time when we stood on it.

NHS is priceless
It is very clear that most of the workers in NHS feel underwellized and underpaid. For 14 years, the government has reduced its standard of living due to ideological reasons – ie complete privatization.
Our NHS is priceless.
Voters should kick every government that does not fund it properly – because it is at stake.

All workers will eventually go on strike
All the workers will strike, eventually, if their salary decreases in a period of fifteen years and their standard of living is reduced.
Otherwise it is Bhola to think.

If NHS fails, get ready to pay
I believe that it is difficult to get a doctor’s appointment. We have been waiting for a long time for an ambulance and within the A&E, together there is still a lot of heavy backlog in the waiting list – but it is coming down, slowly.
Despite access issues, once you get NHS treatment, it remains extraordinary.
Since 2010, our doctors and nurses have effectively freed a salary, and, with inflation in recent years, our energy bills are doubling, our grocery items are almost doubled, and many nurses resorted to food banks, it is no wonder that they are going into draw for Australia.
I think the current government was assigned the highest taxes and about three times national loans since a skeletal economy, fragmented public services, WW2 – but like any business, if you don’t invest in your workers, they will leave.
For those attacking unions, they are only equality, fair salary, working status and fighting workers for T&CS they deserve.
Our NHS is a healthcare system for pride. It is eligible for proper investment – and it consists of its workers.
For those Brits that are against investing in our NHS workers – I hope you are enough to bear private healthcare. If the NHS fails, you have to start savings for hundreds of pounds now, it will spend you every month in insurance.

Nothing for GPS
I fully understand nurses – they deserve better. My GP has informed me that they cannot tell me the results of the scan for four weeks. This is just a telephone call. They are nothing, as far as I am related. They cannot handle what they are doing now, alone and come on.

Isn’t £ 150,000 not enough?
My local health center has four full -time GPS. He has an average salary of more than £ 150,000.
Is this not enough?
And getting appointment is still almost impossible.

NHS worker is ashamed of you
NHS worker is ashamed of you. The way the stormers and streetting were starting to solve NHS – I can confirm this, because my doctors’ appointments of surgery have got much better, and I have conducted two cataracts with a minimal wait for the first eye and four weeks for the second.
You have increased well last year, and now you are starting to destroy NHS.
