  • So the money either goes to trusts or private. If £8bn goes to private, it comes out of trust budgets which means they cannot hire as many doctors or nurses. Without extra funding, things will not go faster as NHS will get slower. It’s diverting funds. It’s privatisation. If they want it faster, they need to find extra funding.

    They’ve made it quite clear they won’t. Hence Streeting keeps talking about not throwing money at it and bashing on about reform. It’s a euphemism for privatisation.

    Labour didn’t win this election without funding. We just find out who funded them and what they may have promised back (using tax payers money).









  • Oof. I do not work weekends without time off in lieu. Good luck with the burnout when it hits.

    I’d personally respond to their “disappointing” with “Quite the overstep there. Rude.”. Setting boundaries is important.

    They should not expect you to give up your free time without asking. Are they your friend? Are they into you and wanting quality time together off the clock?

    Edit: oh crap. That’s their boss. Yeah, not cool. Maybe the more diplomatic “Time off is important. Hope you have a good trip.” Firm. Set a boundary. However, very much a red flag. They’re trying to push you into a personal space and this could be highly risky. They may have other motives. I’d consider looking elsewhere for roles. Maybe pushing for a part time role e.g. you 4 days and the new person days if long hours or 5 and 2. That way they get full coverage and you have time off
