I've also heard that the unions are going to target A&E at future strikes, and that will directly lead to patient deaths, no doubt about it.


One way or another, i think the whole thing is going to come to a head very quickly. I'm still very supportive of the NHS workers, i think the government has crapped on them for a very long time and if we are ever going to have a functional health service in the future, it has to be sorted now

Overall I agree with all your post there bots.
Speaking for myself I strongly support the NHS staff.

This is something the government and PM in particular need to really work to reconciling and deeper respectful negotiations too.

For me however there is another niggling issue too as to the junior Doctors..
There's also reported that Consultants aren't too happy now either.
However in place as Chancellor is Hunt, who presided over his shocking treatment of the junior Doctors last major dispute with the government when he was Health secretary.

Some of the people in play in governnent in this scenario now seem to have baggage of previous more confrontational situations with junior Doctors specifically.
However taking on Nurses too, really they'd prefer that than show some respect for them and add more sensitivity to rhetoric.

Stop the more like lip service and treat these workers fairly and properly.
