Originally posted by SueEllen View PostI think you misunderstood me. The forms had questions like - How will this test help with your diagnosis? Obviously if you think a bone is broken you can answer it and in a sensible way, but not if the person has ear ache. That helped to cut down on the number of x-rays done.

NHS don't want to raise their heads above the parapet and then get shot down for "wasting" so much money on temps/contractors, its a lose/lose for them so they keep quite and let the BMA etc do the complaining

Originally posted by eek View PostHe's not talking about a funding issue more a staffing issue. If you are waiting hours for an X-ray that's because there are no staff to do the X-rays

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostGet the NHS to cover annual repayment of student loans (pro rata if part-time) for registered healthcare professionals.
mrs.l. teaches them and the intake is higher than ever, and the quality may well be better (the last few years has seen some real ****wits grabbing the last of the funded places).
So we wait and see as it may work out better.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostYou pay them less they will still work part-time for the NHS, but at 50% rather than 70-80% . The other 50% will be in the private sector.
