er foreign staff? After all, 25% of the NHS is propped up with foreign staff.

 

We can do a simple exchange. All the ones holding banners threatening to go and work abroad, can do just that, and we can take people who want to work here in our amazing NHS :)

 

Would you accept a big pay cut willingly?

Can anyone provide an unbiased link that shows me the changes in the contracts proposed and how the junior doctors will be impacted by them. I am asking for facts and figures.

 

I can't really find anything concrete and substantial.

 

Because the talks are forever evolving...

 

Here's quite a good article from two days ago: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/nhs/11887308/How-much-are-junior-doctors-paid-and-why-are-they-threatening-to-strike.html

I was reading yesterday, that a first year junior doctor, after six years at medical school, would earn £10 an hour, in the third year they would earn £18 an hour.

£10 an hour is diabolical, I know unskilled workers earning more than that.

Red Herring JFK, I think.

 

Have a read of this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/nhs/11887308/How-much-are-junior-doctors-paid-and-why-are-they-threatening-to-strike.html

 

You have to also take into account the amount of bad blood that exists between the junior doctors and the DoH, when the DoH tried to force through the first set of proposals that would have cut many junior doctors pay to a level not seen since the early 21st century.

That doesn't alter the fact that your question was loaded (and nothing to do with what I said).

I'd sack the lot of them who strike.

 

Good plan.

 

Then we could employ some second division doctors.

 

I'm amazed that more people don't get annoyed by this sort of attitude. When we have bankers, or lawyers holding the country to ransom, we get told that we have to pay top wages to get the best?

 

When doctors, or teachers dare to complain about wages and conditions of service, they are told to get on with it and stop moaning.

 

I'd like to live in a country with first division doctors and teachers. I couldn't care less how good the bankers are.

On this thread you suggested that we should sack all the junior doctors for striking, so it does seem a pertinent question as to whether or not you'd willingly accept a drop in pay.
