The NHS

Does the government think that health workers do not deserve a 1% rise? it seems that they don't, just how do they think the NHS is going to be able to carry on at this rate??, people have to live. pay the bills, food and taxes, just how people survive without at least a semblance of a rise in pay, or is it a plan to turn the NHS over to private enterprise, I understand that the NHS has to be affordable but if you do not pay a reasonable wage staff start to leave, many to work for agencies some to emigrate to a country that welcomes them, in my location the hospital has just built a nurses home not for British nurses but nurses recruited overseas, why is this? because so many are so fed up with it all they are getting out of the job, I hear mad talk of GP's providing 7 days a week service!!! fat chance, there are no young doctors looking for work I know of two surgeries who are short of two GP's each and have been desperately trying to replace the gaps but realistically  not a chance, so all the promises by the government to increase GP's, Hospital Doctors and Nurses is just pie in the sky, in reality the NHS is being bled dry, investment is badly needed, unrealistic targets have to be removed and credibility restored to the profession, or of course we go all private service meaning we all have to have insurance to be treated, we as a nation needs to watch just what is going on or we might realise too late!!.
