Ohh and we're without consultants for A&E now, could this possibly be due to the choices of doctors who started training in 2001/2 etc?The fantastically hypocrital Marget Hodge was on R4 this morning castigating A&E consultants who decided it was better to locum @£1760 per day (of course the agency would take some) and have a family life & etc then get arse fucked as a permanent staff member. WTF is it that surprising?
Calm down dear. I can be just as obnoxious and rude in real life and generally will if the chance presents itself.But moving on.The reasons I keep referring to the Kings Fund is that they're independent and highly regarded: if I were to refer to Tory Party material I would rightly get a pasting, but it's nice to see that you've moved on from saying that the KF is wrong to something approximating the 'no true Scotsman' position, give it a few more years and we'll be having a real debate. Ohh and top marks for brass neck for the 'I don't have the numbers to hand but' yeah 'stands to reason eh g'vnor, ere I had that Oswold Mosely in the back of my cab the other day, 'e 'ad a point eh'.Yes, your guess is spot on, on this subject you're being a prime moron, I'll remind you of it when I next have the chance to buy you a pint. (if the pub hasn't been nationalised by those filthy reds)
As for trolling on this site, I would sugegst that I've never done so
I am interested in debate, but have to confess that a lot of the time it's merely the prospect of a 5 minute argument rather than the former that attracts.
Fuck you Sloper ... Genuine question - seeing how lots of NHS money is spent on expensive British (I assume?) locums, is there an opportunity here for highly qualified consultants from eastern euro/rest of the world to come and do the work for half the cost to the NHS. Or is there protectionism over and above professional qualifications?
Having an argument is not trolling.

Or is there protectionism over and above professional qualifications?Yes there is an opportunity, but there was a very high profile case of a German Dr who flew over when knackered and administered a leathal dose of diamorpheine so i can imagine there being a real problem with public perception and politics.In fact it could make Farage explode!
Quote from: GCW on January 23, 2015, 03:18:13 pmWhat does "privatisation" actually mean with regards to those figures?From memory it's payments from central NHS funds to private suppliers of treatment services (as opposed to IT outsourcing, locum staff, drugs, GPs and so on)
What does "privatisation" actually mean with regards to those figures?
These tender exercises weren't within the figures for Labour and they're not within the figures fro the present government: that said this has been going on for some time: I wonder if the Kings Fund have any reliable data?
I doubt it, Mrs Sloper has heard/seen me at work, and much of the language I use on here is also used at work.
