Jesus. Glad to hear you pulled through - what a terrible and random thing to happen. It's terrifying. StoneOfShame posted:Small, rural, poor villages have that, I lived near one called Greysteel and it had a great community. It's pretty good here too, they have groups that do parties for the kids on Halloween and Christmas, there's a twice weekly soup lunch to raise money for probably old people or something and organised village cleans. In the sprawling metropolis of Oban a group of parents just fundraised for a new fancy playpark and another group bought the old school to turn into a Community hub.

Oborne's Triumph of the Political Class is very good, even if he is prone to idealising the old Establishment. It was written in 2007 but if anything the evidence is even stronger now and makes sense of a lot of the reaction to Corbyn.

You drink and it causes you to make better decisions. I think maybe we should buy you the collected works of Marx and get you a very large amount of alcohol to see if you can figure out how to solve capitalism.

I doubt it will be accepted by the BMA, but since the strike ballot opens tomorrow, it's probably a try to get the ballot to return negative.

PlantHead posted:Are there any more nurses to hire? the NHS is one of the biggest employers in the world and the nursing care in the bigger hospitals on the normal wards is basically poo poo. I couldn't let this one go: The reason there are no more nurses to hire is because we are not funding the training of enough nurses, and not paying the ones we do have well enough, so that nursing is not an attractive career option. Not because we don't need nurses. The NHS needs more money. It also DOES need to make some efficiency savings wherever possible, particularly in terms of middle management and in terms of things like hosed up procurement budgets. But mostly, it needs more money, and particularly more money thrown into training its future, not just paying for its present. In ten years' time we will have an even worse shortage of GPs than we do now, because the Government isn't funding us to train enough doctors at all, and the ones it IS funding don't want to be GPs because GPs are routinely vilified in the media as being worth less than other doctors, glorified hand-holders without a clue, etc etc. Which is categorically bollocks. The NHS is about the best thing about this country, even in its current shabby state. Just imagine what it would be like if the government were actually on its side for the first time in 40 or so years...

This Simon Danczuk fellow seems to have teamed up with the Murdoch press. I don’t object to anyone who has a different opinion from Jeremy or who supported another candidate, but there is a minimum level of solidarity that one would expect to see shown, and I notice that Danczuk has been putting himself around in the Murdoch press in the week after Jeremy was elected. He seems to have inspired a very nasty front page lead in the Sunday Times that talked about “punishment beatings”.

I'm pretty sure that the only systems in the world better from an efficiency standpoint than the NHS are the kind of dual systems where the government will take care of everything against a tiny fee but there's also private sector companies for people paying more for more prompt care. The tiny fee - about £5 a visit for regular GPs, £10 for emergencies, none for nurse advice calls, £100 yearly cap - in a fantasy scenario - helps with efficiency by making people consider a doctor visit twice, but not enough to deter people when they're genuinely sick. Meanwhile, the private sector doctors NOT supported by the government both get to make all the profit they want, but they need to establish a level of care superior to the free option. Usually done with customer service. That way the private sector is a constant threat to the employment of the public sector - after all, if the private sector can get it done cheaper, why shouldn't they be hired to do it instead - but at the same time it avoids the problem with inelastic demand where the companies know you gotta buy from someone.

Jose posted:jeremy hunt has offered junior doctors an 11% pay rise to try and stop the strike OwlFancier posted:Any word on whether they're likely to go for it? I hope not given that they have him over a barrel at the moment and a pay rise won't help. No chance. I'm a junior doctor and the instant reaction from the facebook group (of over 50,000 members) is a resounding 'gently caress off, Hunt'. The guardian have actually been very misleading with their headline. This is NOT an offer of an 11% pay rise. It's an 11% increase to basic pay along with a significant decrease to our out-of-hours working supplement. It would almost certainly leave most doctors either worse off or very similar to how they are now, and very few would be better off. The ones who would be hit worst would be the ones doing the most out-of-hours work, ironically. The original proposals from the DDRB that we have all be assuming Hunt will follow said basic pay should be increased at least 15% to compensate for the loss of banding. So Hunt has just offered us a 'deal' worse than the one we were all angry about. But spun it to make us look like greedy dicks. At this point I think he could offer us all a pony and a personal hug and we would still strike. There is too much anger against him personally and the recent past to stop this train easily.

Serotonin posted:The doctors better not forget their colleages who have had gently caress all for years. It's all a smokescreen based on the fact that Doctor's pay is structured differently to most other professions. It's not going to lead to doctors getting any more money at all, and is designed to make us look like a bunch of whiny babies. We get a base salary (depending on grade) and a banding supplement of between 0% and 100% of that on top based on total hours and unsociable hours. 100% banding is now illegal as it involves working an average of >56 hours a week. From my experience 40-50% is fairly standard for the first 5+ years of training. The original proposal was for a 15% pay rise. However this was combined with a bunch of changes including: - Removal of banding as a concept and switching to being paid along your rostered hours. This sounds reasonable, but under the banding system your employer has to check that what you work is what your rota says you work. If they consistently have you working over hours, your pay gets bumped to the appropriate band. Under the new proposals this protection would be removed, leading to concerns that employers would make unworkable rotas (i.e. ones that work due to staff working over their hours) with no penalty for doing so. -Changes to what constitutes "core" hours. Currently core hours are 7am-7pm, Monday to Friday. Hunt wanted this to change to 7am-10pm Monday-Saturday. -Removal of automatic pay progression. Doesn't affect me because I'm a full-time trainee in a training programme, but will affect less than full-time trainees. -Removal of GP trainee supplement. In order to make GP training (in which training posts go unfilled) more attractive, their pay is matched to their colleagues in hospital. Not any more! -Changes to non-resident on call pay which don't take into account how likely the doctor in question is to get called in. The government have never explicitly stated what the changes to pay structure actually are. The BMA put a calculator up online which the government called misleading, but failed to elaborate. The "15% rise" was supposed to be cost-neutral and so is this new "11% rise". It's no use increasing base pay by 11% if you cut OOH/extra hours pay in half. The government proposed 23 changes, of which 22 were non-negotiable. They then had the cheek to say that the BMA refused to negotiate.
