How many claps is 1%?

We, ordinairy people, have sacrificed our jobs, our holidays, our family and social life and in many cases our health to 'protect' the NHS.

Maybe it is us that deserve the pay increase?

To protect an incompetent government...
 
It’s what the largest majority wanted. Stop your whinging. Everyone was told, everyone should know. It’s called democracy. Suck it up through your muzzles.
 
i just read that doubling the pay rise from 1% to 2% for all 670,000 nurses will cost £174m.

thats less than the £204m hancock spent on unusable facemasks from his good mates at Pestfix.
binned the lot of the them.
 
That's £174 million every year though.
That's OK then. So let's do things another way...

We have c.187,000 currently working for the NHS - it's simplistic maths but the cost of the failed Track & Trace system at £22bn, would have paid for a guaranteed £11.7k annual increase in salaries for each one of those NHS workers for the next 10 years.

Actually, that's the wrong figure - it's 1.5m in the NHS., so consequently that would be £1.5k for each for the next 10 years. Still more than the derisory 1% currently being offered.
 
If the average salary is £30K 1% is £300, times that x 1.5 million staff and it’s very different to your calculation
 
Who gives a fuck how much it costs.
Johnson was praising them just hours before it was announced that they’re effectively getting a pay cut.
We were short of 30,000 nurses before COVID. I’d imagine a lot more will quit once we e got through this.

Hughjanus cares. You're not allowed to question the Govt.
 
In terms of gauging it's value for money (up to now and then the extra bit the Chancellor tried to squirrel away in the Budget small print), is there data available on how many people have been successfully tracked and/or traced....and what impact this has had on reducing infections and shortening lockdown times?

If there is, I am surprised it isn't being more widely circulated to prove what a good investment of our money it has been.
 
“Between that business plan being published and us going into the lockdown that we are in now we have seen the virus mutate. We have seen the new variant emerge, which was something that none of us were able to predict.” Dido Harding.

Doesn't fill one with confidence does it.

pen4 - i do admire you asking that question in the week they had to appeal on all news outlets for the missing 'brazil variant' carrier to make themselves known to their nearest steward....
 
Given they have spent tax payers money, shouldn’t the burden of proof be on those entrusted with this colossal funding?

What is Track and Trace?
 
I think supermarket workers, most on a pittance, deserve a pay rise more

At least the medical profession know they could, one day, be asked to deal with a pandemic in potentially dangerous circumstances

not sure you could say the same of your average Tescos worker

Applications to nursing courses have risen over 30% in the past year, I believe.
