They don't have the money for a 1% pay increase for NHS staff yet they have the extra few percent to pay managers and consultant at up to £370+ an hour
I've already posted that some consultants are working weekends and evenings, not daily mail but facts
As for GP working 24/7 while not dentist to ? also have you not heard of NHS walk in centres dedworth , the one my misses has worked at
If you need treating today, this doctor-led service is open every day from 8am to 10pm, no appointment needed. The service offers an alternative choice for anyone who can’t get a same day appointment at their own GP practice, when they are suffering from an ailment, illness or injury that needs assessing quickly, but isn’t serious enough to require a visit to A&E

I thought £370 was fiction from the Daily Hate Mail
Dentists have never been 24/7 and I don't know anyone who has ever been seriously put out by that
NHS Walk in Centres .......don't make me laugh 2 within 7 miles of us
#1 Walk in Centre 7 days (inc Bank Holidays ) 8am - 8pm
my sister waited there 3 hours on 30 Dec with ear infection to be given the wrong prescription by a pidgin-English speaking doctor
#2 Urgent Care Centre Mon - Fri 8:30 - 17:00, Weekends & Bank Holidays 9:00 - 13:00
At 1pm I drove past the UCC taking my NHS Nurse wife for her 13:00-21:00 Sunday shift - a few cars parked there I'm unsure if there were any stroke victims slumped in them

£370 an hour Dedworth, is from the Daily Snail, surely it's right then , they wouldn't be making it up would they ?
GP surgeries have never been 24/7 , have you ever had toothache or an abscess ? When was the last time you got to see a dentist the same day or next day ?
Do you know anyone who has ever been seriously put out by not seeing a GP 24/7 ? Surely if you're that ill you would go to A & E (if that's not been closed down by the Tories yet!)
If you were a stroke victim you would have thought someone would have had the common sense to get you an ambulance or to A & E and not to see a GP or a walk in centre
Hours where the misses worked 8am till 10pm 7 days a week. You and your sister have got 3 choices, make an appointment to see your GP, if you can got to a drop in centre, if you can and it's urgent go to A & E.
