The difference with doctors is that a huge number of newly qualified doctors immediately emigrate to Canada and Australia due to the better pay and conditions in those countries. Addressing this can only help the NHS and consequently the general public. Other public workers aren’t as sought after in other countries so the same pressures don’t apply to give them large pay rises.There, edited for you
Yes. I don't think you needed to be an economist, fortune teller or have a direct line to the chancellor to realise the country is fucked.
I think most of us realised that starmers promise of 'change' was bollocks unless he raised taxes, but the tax burden is already huge
I think it costs around £250k to train a doctor so maybe they should have to pay that back by working in the NHS for at least 5 years?The difference with doctors is that a huge number of newly qualified doctors immediately emigrate to Canada and Australia due to the better pay and conditions in those countries.

IFS guy disagrees with you saying there were unknownsI don’t believe anything was covered up…the shadow chancellor would have been in the know.
I think this is just a sideshow whilst Labour moans about having to raise taxes to fill a £20Billion void on one side whilst dishing out loads of cash to all and sundry on the other…..I expect the tax payer will have to foot the bill as usual despite already having the highest tax burden in half a century..
Exactly this. Labour and Reeves are about as transparent as a sheet of Perspex.I don’t believe anything was covered up…the shadow chancellor would have been in the know.

And the sheep fall for it every time. Baaaaa!
Same for me. Five years payback on a sliding scale.I think it costs around £250k to train a doctor so maybe they should have to pay that back by working in the NHS for at least 5 years?
When a former employer of mine paid for an MBA I had to commit to them for a number of years post study…
They would have had a general idea without knowing details I would have thought….IFS guy disagrees with you saying there were unknowns
