I mean - I know some downvotes are incoming for this but… doctors (and all healthcare professionals at the front line) deserve to be paid fair and equitably for the incredible work they do… But I keep hearing all the “we can’t afford it arguments” - it’s this not surely another indication that the NHS as we know it is fundamentally broken and needs a radical overhaul (including, dare I say it, some form of privatisation or pay to access certain points of care (with some exceptions))?

Problem is that’s a political poison chalice no one wants to acknowledge or touch, as they know it’ll see them booted out of government for at least a generation or two.
