Priti Patel is a piece of work

Independent - Anger as Priti Patel says NHS fees paid by foreign health staff must stay, just three weeks after announcing ‘review’

So Priti says 3 weeks ago that the Home Office was reviewing the fees (up to £8,000) that foreign NHS workers must pay to be here saving the life’s of us Brit’s.

Now it turns out the review says the rule stays. Has this woman no shame? People are putting their lives at risk to protect us - forget clapping for the NHS, write to your MP complaining about the inhumanity of this woman!

We can still hold them to account. Just because they were elected doesn’t mean they are gods. They are there to fulfil the will of the people. As I said earlier, Clapping does nothing for these people. Write to your MP, it is an email with your name, address and postcode in the Constituency you live in. They will probably ignore you to start with, but when enough of us, politely, say this is wrong then it will makeenough of them change their behaviour - I remain optimistic!

I said 5 years for a qualified, experienced nurse. I washappy to move back to 3 years for qualified. My point is Priti Patel is screwing immigrant nurses and doctors. Some say we can replace them easily within the UK. You should know better than me that bursary’s went and the cost to nurses went through the roof. Replacing experience does not happen overnight, it will take 5+ years. The cause of this is not you, it isn’t me, it isn’t the foreigh workers. It is Tory policy.

You actually said it takes 5+yrs to train a nurse.... This is a clearer explanation which makes all the difference.

The difficulty in recruiting staff is a lot to do with the abuse given to them while trying to do said job add to that the constant targets they are being asked to meet, which are never going to be achievable.... The govt most definitely have ransacked the NHS but general public have also abused both the system and those working within it. It's all very well out clapping on a Thursday but a couple of months ago some of those clapping were physically and verbally abusing nhs staff, I know because I'm subjected to it at least weekly if not more, govt were ripping the guts out of the NHS.... There was little respect pre covid, that's played a huge part in recruitment difficulties. It says it all when one of my nurses earns more an hour as a DJ than he does in his day job.

This guy nailed it. Let's make the healthcare workers to pay for this.

What other choice do we have. Closing tax loopholes for the ultra rich or big corporations? That's just crazy talk. There's no way that the wealthiest sections of society should help.

Estimated to cost the UK tax payers around £7 billion.

Infrastructure projects that diversify the broader economy and don't just build roads schools and houses.

Have a look at the bond market... The tories are borrowing figures that would make Labour supporters wet their pants in excitement.

That borrowed money has to be spent... And the tories reaganomics "give to rich and watch it trickle through the economy to the poor doesn't work"

The last 10 years shows that

Not when companies like Google and Starbucks tell the treasury how much tax they want to pay.

Or every 8-15 reckless sectors of the economy knock on the governments asking loans, tax breaks and bailouts

"The tories are also floating the idea of a three year public sector pay freeze and austerity cuts to "pay" for the pandemic.

What do you suggest ?

Borrowing. Interest rates are at an historic low and there has never been a better time for them to borrow.

Have a look at the bond market... The tories are borrowing figures that would make Labour supporters wet their pants in excitement.

That borrowed money has to be spent... And the tories reaganomics "give to rich and watch it trickle through the economy to the poor doesn't work"

The last 10 years shows that

Not when companies like Google and Starbucks tell the treasury how much tax they want to pay.

Or every 8-15 reckless sectors of the economy knock on the governments asking loans, tax breaks and bailouts"

Yeah but none of this makes for a very catchy Daily Mail headline.

So no need for any austerity measures."
The BOE have said in an interview that they will carry the debt for ever if needs be, fixed at zero intrest. The country will pay it back over time but no rush so the economy can bounce back.

whichever party was in power they would have struggled with what was happening,to say things could have been done differently/better is looking at things with hindsight( a luxury you don't have when decisions have to be made),if labour were in power you would get tory minded folk moaning about things with tories in we're getting labour minded folk moaning,just the way of the word I guess,along with all the bar room experts who know everything about everything and criticise everything!

There are currently 106,000 WTE vacancies in the NHS, and that is with foreign doctors and nurses. There are plenty of jobs going for 'our own' but they seem not to be taking them.

Probably doesn't help that the government removed the bursary for nursing students or that junior doctors could earn more stacking shelves at Tesco, if you break it down to an hourly rate, but hey let's just 'train our own'.

"

The problem with this statement is that it ignores the fact that the Tories have been in power for the last decade. Public services have been underfunded and cut to the bone which has left them unable to deal with the pandemic.

It may be correct to say that Labour would've dealt with the crisis just as badly but that would be down to the fact the Tories have destroyed public services.

It takes 5+ years to train nurses. What do you suggest in the meantime? By the way, the Torieshave been in charge since 2010, whose fault do you think the current situation is!

5+years?

Degree plus on the job training. You don’t just rock up & say I’d like to be a nurse.

And scarily allowed to take a team despite being nowhere near experienced enough to do so. There are very few nurses ready and able to do the job when they qualify from uni.

First past the post electoral system. The Tories only increased their vote share by 1.2% over 2017 and still got less than 44% of the vote, but gained 48 seats (more than 7% of the total). Meanwhile the Lib Dems increased their vote share by 4.2% and lost a seat.

That the people who are stopping the country from falling apart aren't the first to take the economic hit.

How about we make the top 5% of earners contribute more, make companies like Google, Amazon and Starbucks pay their fair share.

Labour aren't in power, and aren't the ones running the shit show. So are less relevant in these discussions.

It's not only people who voted remain who lost on brexit. That's not how the world works. Brexit is a loss for us all. Aside from the ultra rich and those who funded it. Of course.

Anyone who considered that as a promise is foolish. I took it to mean we could IN THEORY spend that money on the NHS. Do NOT forget BREXIT did not arise with a political bias (although corbyn tried to make it such). I voted for BREXIT in the referendum. I voted Labour in the general election.

If you consider the purpose of brexit is to transfer wealth and power from ordinary people to big corporations, and the ruling classes. Then brexit is a small C conservative leaning and right wing concept.

That's because the degree teaches them how to be leaders, how to research so that their practice is evidence based, and taught how to learn rather than a thorough teaching in anatomy, physiology of all body systems and pathology of diseases. Oddly enough very little is taught but guided.

Many are here because, for the last 20 years, NHS managers go over to different countries and recruit staff.

"Ok let's scrap all fee's for NHS workers, so more will pour in sod the counties they come from. If they don't have doctors and nurses that's ok fuck them as long as we are all right. Time we trained our own and not ripped apart other countries health services We have to agree with this why are we taking nurse / doctors from country's that have paid for them to be trained? And why are these doctors /nurse abandon their own country's? "

Because we don’t have enough doctors and nurses to run the NHS, and we are not taking them, they come of their own accord for a variety of reasons. I worked abroad and I didn’t do it because I was paid more, I did it because I wanted to experience other countries.

The problem with a lot of people is they can’t conceive of anyone doing things for reasons other than what they themselves would.

It takes 5+ years to train nurses. What do you suggest in the meantime? By the way, the Torieshave been in charge since 2010, whose fault do you think the current situation is!

5+years?

Degree plus on the job training. You don’t just rock up & say I’d like to be a nurse.

And scarily allowed to take a team despite being nowhere near experienced enough to do so. There are very few nurses ready and able to do the job when they qualify from uni.

Do you know any student nurses?

One incredibly well. "

I work with newly qualified and student nurses a lot, there’s the odd one I’d trust on their own with a team but by and large they take time to gain the confidence and experience that’s required. They get there eventually but they are, in general, not ready when they qualify.

I don't have to think, I know. We have been in crisis regarding nurse shortages for around 20 years. I recall the first wave of nurses from the Philippines - they had to be taught up to our standards and were placed in band D, the next wave were degree nurses from New Zealand and became E grade nurses immediately.

They can work wherever, but it's not ethical to poach (recruit) them in droves. When the nurse shortage was 5 years old, 10 or 15, the then govts should have looked at problem and looked for a long term solution such as investing in home grown staff. The bursary should never ever ever have been taken away. And students should never have been in situ to support wards, short staffed. Managers have looked at students as a free pair of hands and quite often have failed to be 100% supportive in their training.

Look after the nurses/ doctors we have already trained but lost because of the pressures of the job like 13hrs shift without a break etc. Its not rocket science just common senses. Look after your work force and you will have people banging at the door to be trained.

We have 44,000 nursing vacancies and a government that is doing it’s best to increase that number by getting rid of the bursary.

Without foreign nurses we would have over 65,000 vacancies and we would have close hospitals. If you don’t have enough staff then you simply can’t look after the staff you have, we need more nurses to keep our hospitals safe and we are going to recruit them from wherever we can get them.

Nothing to do with the global financial crash then? Coincidence?

Maybe we need to go back further to find whose really to blame for this horrendous government.

King Arthur maybe? Spent a fair wedge on swords and shields.

he sold the gold before the economy went tits up

Estimated to cost the UK tax payers around £7 billion.

Or to put in perspective. About one twentieth of what Brexit costs the British tax payer every year.

why do you always bring Labour up? you always seem to squeeze it in no matter what the thread is about.

"guess you backed the wrong horse but seem unable to let it go" - I'm not sure what you mean?

Labour aren't in power, and aren't the ones running the shit show. So are less relevant in these discussions.

It's not only people who voted remain who lost on brexit. That's not how the world works. Brexit is a loss for us all. Aside from the ultra rich and those who funded it. Of course.

I think the implication of the bus thing was clear..if we came out the eu that money would be spent on the NHS.Whatever the nuances of interpretation it was a blatant lie.

The bus was 100% indended tondeceive and misguide. That is why the wording was chosen as it was.

In answer to your question soneone earlier asked that when pay freezes were mentioned..how else would we pay for the furlough.?

Make big corp.pay proper tax. Stop giving pay rises to mps who hardly earn a 3rd of their pay.

Stop allowing people to use tax loopholes. Stop spending vast sums on utter shit i.e millenium dome millenium bridge Hs2. Sack the royals

Dump trident.

So many many ways.

Agreed 100%

"So basically we are now at the stage that members of the public don't think NHS staff should get a wage rise because some staff are immigrants.

I hope those with that opinion and the racial tones never use the NHS let alone clapped for them

Is there actually anyone on this thread pushing for a pay freeze?

Well someone called them greedy.

Is that your interpretation on someone mentioning financial gain?

I apologise.They were called selfish.

I'll return to my question of is anyone pushing for an nhs pay freeze?

At the top of this post re NHS not getting pay rise (=pay freeze) and I wanted to know if anyone here on this thread was pushing for one.

"Ok let's scrap all fee's for NHS workers, so more will pour in sod the counties they come from. If they don't have doctors and nurses that's ok fuck them as long as we are all right. Time we trained our own and not ripped apart other countries health services We have to agree with this why are we taking nurse / doctors from country's that have paid for them to be trained? And why are these doctors /nurse abandon their own country's?

Maybe because we have a shortage?

Turning on overseas nurses now. what a country we live in.

Of course not.

What can we do exactly?

Personally I'd say it was the gmnts.

Petition our MPs, make our support widely known. Vote.

I do vote.

I voted for a party that didnt lie about building new hospitals and numbers of nurses etc but sadly they didnt win.

The gmnt runs the nhs..short of mass organised protests I'm not sure what we could do."

So did/do I. But that's what we can do.

I think they follow public opinion to an extent.

It's incomplete as a solution I know.

"The tories are also floating the idea of a three year public sector pay freeze and austerity cuts to "pay" for the pandemic.

What do you suggest ?

Here."

That doesn't mention immigrants

A country's economy is not the same as paying off a credit card debt.

Many economists disagreed with the austerity approach to the last recession, there are plenty of other options - can easily Google 'alternatives to austerity' and see this, especially how Portugal did things with a lot of success.

Why couldn't they use a service the are paying for exactly?

A very simple thing to do to attract already trained staff back to the nhs would be to provide child care.This in the great scheme of things would not cost that much and mean so much to staff.

Not sure why Portugal being "riddled with poverty", and yet still managing not to inflict austerity on its least well off citizens, is worthy of a "hahaha"?

I think in general Terms Tories will save money/cut services.

Labour will spend money /increase services.

Obviously it's not as simple as that but in general terms.

So if the bulk of the population vote for option 1 you cant really say..well what can we do.

We have made that decision.

A lot of foreign countries like the Philippines have thousands more doctors and nurses than the UK because more train with the prospect of working abroad but not all do. When I started my nursing degree there were 2,000 students in my university in the first year and 660 in our final year. I'm not sure how many students apply to universities here nor how many in the end qualify but I'm sure the numbers aren't as high. The issue with encouraging Bristish students to train to be nurses or doctors is the way they are badly compensated financially and treated by the general public, government as well as media.

I'm British born but Philippines trained, so see the side of both coins.
