There has been another strike by hospital porters, along
with many other healthcare personnel, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-29592205.
I don't blame them one bit and if I were still in the service I'd join them. Basic
emergency services have been maintained, but paramedics are involved for the
first time since 1990 and the Royal Medical Corps have helped cover. Also, for
the first time ever, midwives have joined in. The excuse from the DoH is that
if healthcare workers were paid more, than the government would have to make
redundancies. However if all NHS employees were just given a millionth of one
percent of the Great Banking Bailout of 2008, then we'd all be absolutely fine.
I don't buy the government's appeal to charity because it is rather selective!
