Yeah like the dangerously unregulated private care homes are working?...untrained staff on minimum wage mistreating clients.
Hospitals will be next...

Meanwhile, council trained staff seem to be mistreating patients too. I won't bother posting the links, I'm sure you already know what I'm talking about. And if not, just google "mistreatment elderly council care homes" and you get pages and pages of the stuff. Meanwhile, my local, privately run care home enjoys a range of entertainments, hairdressing, private rooms with their own stuff, a caring staff.... There are good and bad
everywhere. One section of society is not inherently bad and one section is not inherently good no matter where they live, how much money they've got or who they vote for.
Actually, you already have "trained" nurses in the NHS mistreating and neglecting patients.
For those on low pay in London (like care workers) who have to pay substantially more rent and council tax to what their northern counterparts pay, some weighting to their salary is a must, or key workers will be driven out completely.
