    It's lack of suitable people. My wide works in higher education in health. There is no shortage of candidates, who will pay for it themselves, they're just thick/crap/lazy. And a lot are only interested in a degree course as it means they aren't married off and turned into a baby factory for a few years (they'll never actually work even if they do get qualified).
    Strangely the profession disagrees with her.

    they cite poor government planning and low pay.

    Interestingly enough we aren't the only country with the issue, one assumes the candidates in the US are all thickies?

              Maybe it's about time we found a better solution than having to run a Ltd to be a contractor, which is a fairly direct side-effect of the UK setup. No idea how you get that ball rolling when clients and agents seem to expect it (not to mention insurance/liability), but if income were equally taxed regardless of source we'd have no benefit from running a company. All things being equal it would be simpler.
              Agree completely with this, although the concept of double taxation needs to be considered. As already mentioned in this thread, the reason that divs didn't use to get taxed in the lower band was because tax was considered to already have been paid via corporation tax.

              In a similar way (kind of), CGT was simplified by removing inflation indexing but lowering the headline rate to compensate. If we do adjust CGT to be taxed at the same rate as income (not a terrible idea - CGT allowances and rates are quite generous here and almost all enjoyed by the wealthy), then we would have to bring back some sort of indexation - otherwise people are going to be paying tax on nominal gainz with real losses, which seems a bit crazy to me.

                  It does, but it's upwardly mobile like myself.

                    You have listed articles about job vacancies. I was talking about people for training.
                    The lack of staff is due to lack of trained staff.

                    And the "profession" don't have much that much of an idea of the state of that unless they work in a teaching hospital (and if they do they don't have time to write political articles.)

                    Poor government planning I get, except all the government have done insofar as education is concerned, is lift the cap on trainee numbers (something that only the unions don't like), and remove the bursary.

                      I'm not really saying that... I'm saying that there is seemingly no alternative if the government wants to have a viable economy. They can't just run a huge deficit without losing credibility on the markets (hence the Lizpocalypse). Labour would raise taxes considerably for ideological reasons, the Tories ideologically disagree with it but cannot pragmatically see any other option. The end result might not be very different. People talk as if there is "a way out" from recession like the right policies will magically fix everything, but the truth is sometimes it's just bad. If there isn't enough money, something has to give. That's how I see it anyway
