Doctors' Union To Decide On Industrial Action

The best thing this government could do is change MPs own Pensions to exactly the same basis as they are proposing. Will they?

The Caring has completely gone out of the profession.! with all the mis-diagnosis and the mishaps in today's Hospitals and at the GP's I certainly have only fear, not satisfaction to go to the GP's . Try and even get an appointment ! Its all turned into a free for all. About time the patient came 1st. and The Medical profession shaped up, to its responsibilities.

what really pisses me off with this government. cuts here there everywhere, nothing is ever done, about payments, to the thousands of illegals, living off benefits, sending money home to there families, keeping terrorists in our prisons, its must cost billions a year to house and keep these morons, the government needs to look at lower levels of society, stop banks, giving themselves enormous bonuses,and now we are spending thousands helping somalia, and what are they doing in londonstine. committing rapes murders why help these animals,

The only industrial action i want to see is more Surgerys open for longer hours

when will the MP's change their pension system so that its the same as all the other public sector workers?

Why should people who are low paid pay tax to help subsidise the pensions of high earners. GPs earn around £2000 per week more than enough to pay for their own pension.

do we even have British doctors anymore?

the thing is that if every one did thier job eficiently and right the first time this country would not be in the mess it is in, thisapplies to a lot of doctors, we have seen in the press good diagnosis initialy and prompt treatment can save 75% of the cost of an illness or a condition, ghost patients, etc, reduction in out of hours cover to the point where it now costs a fortune and probably costs much more due to poor outcomes and longer treatment, plus the overriding problem of unecissary deaths and disablement, as with diabetes blood test being done just to targets of QOF.
now the above only applies to those who hqave been infected by the apperthy doctors fall into after the exubeance of profesionalisam goes.

so the doctors want to go on strike, about the nhs, didn't they threaten to go on stike against the implementation of the nhs in the 40's, seems to me they cant make a diagnosis and stick to it

Why do we pay so much to foreigners, all the doctors in this country are not White english born and bred. try and find a white face in any hospital. they come to Britain because no other country will have them and out own doctors are then deprived of the jobs.

Time we came out of Eyrope and gave Britain back to white English people.

The amount of money they earn they do not need a pension scheme. They earn on average 120,000 a year and I am old enough to remember that when the NHS was formed under the Atlee government the BMA opposed the NHS, and it seems to me that things have not changed much

When will civil servants understand the taxpayer is getting fed up with of having to work longer just to keep them with a pension that so many people will not have. Let them strike they will only make the public hate them more than they do now.

The pension cuts are all over England The doctors are not been singled out it is equal rights after all, it is the the working people, tax payers who pay their wages and and no job is worth 100k a year and with all the cuts that are been made it is only the doctors that are benifitting why should they be allowed it be higher than any one else in fact they are paid so well they can afford to do job share like the rest of the people who have to do this They should not be thinking of industrial action over pennies they have become plain greedy

How is it fair that a GP on £120k+ per annum can retire on approx £60-£80k per annum whereas a Private Secor employee paying the same contributions for the same period retires on £20k per annum?

We value the Public sector, but it's hardly fair is it. Browns Socialism project killed Private Pensions and now the Liberals and Labour want to reduce the higher rate tax relief for people earning over £60k. Crazy. In 30years time this Country will be wrecked as every Private sector employee will be on the breadline having paid for Pensions for the Public sector and Welfare for the underserving over that same period.

Reduce Public sector Pensions and Reduce Public Sector Spending and give Private Sector Pensions more tax relief so both Private and Public pensions are comparable.

Stop moaning about the 1%, no one on Yahoo is in the 1%!! Why should the 80% suffer to pay for the 19% who are moaning about the 1%!!!!???!!!

The NHS and the wider public sector seems to be run for the benefit of the staff employed therein rather than those who fund it. The ranting union leaders interviewed on TV news programmes are still repeating the mantras of the 60's and 70's - in the same accents. Their predecessors ruined UK industry then, and they seek to ruin the rest of us now. The Stalinist-type edifice which is the NHS has to be reformed to focus on patients needs and taxpayers' limits. This should not be a party political issue, and our politicians should work together to do what is needed. Even Labour recognises the need for change, but did not have the bottle to do anything when in power, apart from throw billions more at the NHS, with absolutely no improvement at all.

let them.

Are these the same GPs that this govt want to control the NHS budget? Funny how theybsay that they (the GPs) are all for their proposals, this may have them thinking again. I feel that MPs should lead by example and reform their own pensions first before imposing their will on others.....

They still get silly money and now don't work nights or the w/e. Half time the paramedics are more use than they are.... stop bloody whinging and try working...

Ifthey dont like the pension scheme, join another. They ought to be able to make provisions out of £100,000 a year, with overtime available at £500 a shift.

Time for all public sector workers to pay their own pension contributions into private funds. They should no longer expect the rest of us to pick up their bill, especially as they are now on such huge salaries in comparison to the rest of us. Look at the police, an inspector on 50k a year-- what a joke. All public sector pay scales should be set by a comittee of local people. There would not be many council leaders on 150000 per annum.
