NHS nurses never get bonuses. They get a salary. Google it NHS RN salary. The nurses do. 4 year degree and a stuck with a debt, imagine if we asked police, fire fighters, soldiers ,sailers , RAF personnel to pay for their training. By the way the UK doesn’t use dollars. They use pounds.

i must admit after reading both pay review bodies recommendations, (i have trouble sleeping), I would contend both review bodies, doctors, nurses etc are not independent.

The government have skewed/distorted the initial guidance variables, boundaries and scope, causing limitations of any favourable outcome for an agreement/settlement.

If there is a budget and the review body from the outset has to adhere to that budget, regardless of variables, outside economic influences, inflation, cost of living, accomodation, rents mortgages, energy costs, etc

That cannot be presented in any respect as independent.

This is a poo storm.

The Brexit blocks on migrant labour were always going to hammer the NHS to bits. It was already underfunded and understaffed.

Spot the new sign at Heathrow, if your flight makes it past the BorderForce strikes: 'Welcome to Brexit Britain. No Running With Scissors.'

How come there's no left over for nurses and ambulance drivers?

From where do you the idea that the government should depend on international companies to fund their public health?

The UK government has made many terrible decisions in the last few years, but vaccinating their population so the strain on the public health is not as bad as it would be without those vaccines is not one of them. That would go much more with Brexit or the tax plans.

Thousands of UK ambulance staff strike as public urged to avoid risks:

It is perplexing.

What does it mean when minister says 'the public must use common sense to avoid taking risks'? What an insidious remark.

With such strikes, expect to surrender one's life to fate faster..(?)

An absolutely incurable nation, dying its own death..

oh no, do give us a break from your constant Vaccine pushing, this is about ambulance workers in UK.

This is a ghastly time of year for this to happen, Christmas period is always terribly busy and this strike makes me concerned for the vulnerable, especially the elderly and the children.

Would a PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) help?

3rd world healthcare in a 3rd world country …. A totally avoidable catastrophe…. Seems time for the US to step in and bail them out …. As usual …. Brexit = rationed healthcare and ghastly healthcare professionals wages ….. Teresa May is starting to look like a genius now .!. Mask up … vax up …. You literally could be saving your own life.!.

When was the last time the US bailed out the UK? In the financial crash of 2008, the UK injected a huge sum to save those crashing American banks.

walrus …. Where should I get started ? Churchill begging for help so even people like you could enjoy the very freedoms you enjoy today ? The list is never ending tootsie…..

You do not need to add personal insult to make your point. "wallace" not "walrus"

Wow you mean you have to go back more than 70 years to find something? I wasn't born during the war, just at the end of it. The Americans charged the UK billions for all the weapons and oil it supplied.

Seventy-five years ago, an agreement was signed in Washington for a US loan to the UK government of $3.75 billion repayable over 50 years. The UK's final payments on this, and a loan from Canada agreed upon in March 1946, would not be made until December 2006.

Did you forget the UK supported America in Iraq and Afghanistan? British soldiers gave their lives.

What a great deal! The US gave the UK a bargain,
