饥饿游戏'We Want to Save Lives': How Tory Cabinets Pushed NHS to the Wall, Disregarded Nation's Health_我的网站
一 | "We want to save lives, we want to deliver good healthcare," says Dr Bharat Pankhania, senior clinical lecturer at The University of Exeter Medical School, who is attending the BMA conference at the moment. "The difficulty is that we've had a decade of cuts in healthcare, even more than a decade. So, [there has been] more than a decade of cuts, as well as sickness, ill health and pressures of COVID. COVID plus healthcare cuts have made the matter a lot worse.",NHS unionists argue that a 30 percent pay rise is by no means excessive as British medics have suffered a real-terms pay cut of 30 percent since 2008, according to The i, a UK newspaper. BMA conference members say that the fall represents "career earnings loss amounting to millions of pounds" to each doctor.,The BMA is not the only healthcare union demanding government action over long-overdue pay rises. The Royal College of Nursing is seeking a 14 percent pay rise, and Unison, one of the UK's largest trade unions which represents 500,000 NHS and social care workers, is warning of industrial action unless the government brings the public sector's salaries in line with rocketing inflation, according to the Daily Mail.,UK's Teaching, NHS Unions Threaten Strikes Unless They Get Pay Rise More In Line With Inflation20 June, 05:25 GMT,Chronic Underinvestment & Lack of Staff,The UK healthcare has long been suffering from underinvestment and lack of staff which in turn has created an unbearable burden for NHS workers, according to Pankhania.,"There are just not enough clinicians and clinical time to do the job," he says. "And because there is a lot of pressure in the job, a lot of doctors decide to take early retirement; they give up. Although there is a problem, the problem is getting worse because people are saying: 'Well, I'm fed up, I can't do it, I can't cope, I cannot manage'.",The latest NHS data indicates there was a shortage of 8,000 doctors in England as of March this year. He notes that there has been a slow loss of workforce because of a series of meaningless reorganizations over the past decades. "And that's a lot of wasted money in a reorganization upon reorganization," the academic remarks.,In addition to that, the COVID pandemic claimed many healthcare specialists' lives since they were not adequately protected, according to the senior lecturer.,NHS Stretching Thin Trying to Cope With Rising Infections and UK Gov't Isn’t Making Things Easier23 July 2021, 05:00 GMT,Then there is another problem: The NHS faces the loss of thousands of highly experienced senior doctors because pension scheme rules may force them to retire, the BMA warned in April. They could end up losing tens of thousands of pounds in pension benefits if they work beyond 60.,"If you are a senior doctor and your lifetime earnings allowance has been exceeded, you face a tax bill," says Pankhania. "The tax bill is quite large. And therefore you say: 'I cannot go to work when I'm better off not going to work'.",Does the Johnson Government Care About the Wellbeing of Britons?,So far the Tory government has ruled out meeting the demands of healthcare unions on pay rises, insisting that considerable salary hikes would accelerate Britain's inflation that hit a new 40-year high of 9.1 percent in the 12 months to May, according to the Office for National Statistics. The Treasury has only offered a 3 percent rise for public sector workers, which is much lower than the present inflation rate.,"We have a government that is not listening and it is not responsive until their back is to the wall," argues Pankhania. "The government has a huge majority. The government has a lot of issues. One way for the government to deflect from its own internal problems is to have distractions such as 'the stupid doctors are asking for a 30 percent pay rise'. The doctors want to strike. The barristers want to strike. Rail workers want to strike. I do not expect the government to say, 'Oh, let us look at this seriously', because it is in their interests not to do so.",The question then arises whether the incumbent British government really cares about the health and wellbeing of the nation, even though a healthy nation would be more vibrant economically, the senior lecturer highlights.,UK's Tory Government Faces Social Collapse, Having No-One But Itself to Blame21 June, 05:48 GMT,"Unfortunately, the ideology of the current government is not conducive to making the NHS better despite all their lies - that there would be extra money for the NHS if we left the European Union," he says. "This government is not interested in investing genuinely in the National Health Service. It is fragmenting it. It is making it privatized in a drip, drip, drip way, and therefore it haemorrhages money and resources. Every profit that a private enterprise makes is a profit lost to the NHS.",A wave of strikes which the media has dubbed the 'Summer of Discontent' has engulfed Britain in June with railway workers walking out last week in an action dubbed the worst since the Seventies. Criminal law barristers took to the streets on 27 June demanding a 15 percent pay rise, and teachers' unions and the civil service are also being balloted on possible industrial action. Doctors and nurses might follow suit.。 Kenny 报道 4月22日，医生工会组织投票拒绝了新西兰卫生部提出的薪酬协议，超过2500名医生将在5月初举行罢工。 新西兰住院医生协会（NZRDA）发布声明称，因为与卫生部的谈判陷入僵局，将于5月7日早晨7点至5月8日早晨8点之间“全面停工”。停工时间合计为25小时。 Advertise with us NZRDA全国秘书Deborah Powell博士表示，卫生部提出了“难以接受的薪酬方案，包括在2025年对近600名注册工会成员（包括300名全科医生实习生）减薪或冻薪”。 NZRDA称卫生部提出的方案内容还包括“减薪最高达12%”、“对全科实习生减薪”、“降低涨薪上限”等等。 Powell博士说：“残酷而讽刺的是，卫生部还向我们提出了一份薪酬报价，它意味着某些住院医生的报酬会大幅上涨15%-20%，甚至达到25%。然而由于我们采取集合协议薪酬模式，该报价对我们成员的影响既不平等也不公平。” 她说工会成员决定团结一致，不接受任何削减住院医生收入的薪酬协议，尤其是在住院医生职位空缺多达500个、工会正在努力补缺的时候。 工会希望向卫生部传达一个简单信息：“每位住院医生都很重要”，“一些医生的工资上涨不能通过其他医生的减薪来达成”。 NZRDA抗议的另一个点是卫生部没有兑现关于重新排班的承诺。NZRDA说成员被安排连续长时间工作，有时甚至需要值班15个小时。 NZRDA表示，本周将由成员投票决定实否会有更多罢工行动。卫生部尚未对此发表意见。 相关阅读： 工资跟不上通胀、人手短缺…近5000名资深医生和牙医将罢工 接受最新涨薪提议后 新西兰护士和教师的工资水平拼得过澳洲吗？ “今天是值得庆祝的日子” 中学教师接受政府的14.5%涨薪提议 护士们接受最新涨薪方案 本周三不罢工了！ 年薪2倍！免费住房！澳洲抢走新西兰护士后，又要抢他们…… 一图告诉你，澳洲工资水平比新西兰高多少 澳新收入差多少？新西兰护士“威胁”政府：不加薪就去澳洲 医护人员短缺危机：政府决定姗姗来迟，招聘专家呼吁提高薪资水平 注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。
