  1. Even though they are paid more than just about every other European country for providing an inferior service.

  3. Doctors whose salaries rank among the highest in Europe but provide a worse service than other European countries do not deserve a pay rise.

  4. That was the nurses.

  5.  @Mrabhay12.  only in the first year of training - the pay increases exponentially thereafter.

  6. The people of Britain deserve the superior healthcare system of fellow European countries who spend their money on state of the art cancer scanning equipment instead of wasting it on excessive pay rises for doctors as they do in the UK.

  7.  @dasrhinegold  British doctors are overvalued.

    2
  13.  @scropack7830  no one working in the private sector receives pay restoration so they should deeply resent their hard earned taxes being used to give pampered entitled junior doctors a retrospective index linked pay rise dating back to 2008.
    2
  14.  @mutasimaldory  it is well documented that most NHS GPs, hospital doctors and consultants enjoyed an 18 month holiday on full pay.

  15. The government caving in?

  16.  @cdub5033  aka the featherbedded, pampered, gold plated, index linked pensioned public sector.

  27. But the clapping sheeple think the NHS is the envy of the world.

  28.  @danielwebb8402  but junior whingers are paid a lot more than workers at Pret.

  31. Their sense of entitlement is breathtaking.
    1
  32. Doctors and refugees are both indulged at taxpayers expense.

  33. Replace them with better trained doctors from overseas.

  38.  @ExplodedFrog12  No - it’s common sense - when the government increases the number of places available to study medicine pupils of lower calibre gain places who would have been rejected in years gone by which would explain the huge increase in claims against the NHS for clinical negligence.

    1
  45.  @xsentfromuk8938  if the pay is so bad why are places at whatever passes for medical school these days oversubscribed seven times over?
    1
  46.  @c.m5043  The reason is we have a nation of whinging GPs, doctors and consultants who abuse the healthcare system screwing it for every penny they can get out of it.

  47.  @wobblywally-0  Spot the gaslit sheep.

  48. Wake up leaders and force the traitors to pay back the cost of their free training before they leave to work in the handful of countries who pay more than the NHS.
    1
  49.  @scienceevolves4417  but it needs to be opened up to competition by inviting the best educated and trained doctors from all over the world to apply to work in the NHS and not give preference to the new breed of homegrown dumbed down doctor which should allow their currently overblown salaries to be undercut and not be dictated by the BMA.
