Category Archives: anti-NHS consultants

Interesting and subtle article here by the BBC. It screams about alleged financial “abuse” of “bonus culture” by NHS Consultants. The impression is given that there is widespread troughery and self reward and this is unacceptable at a time when the NHS faces cuts. But it’s not quite that straightforward. You see for starters, it is the BBC itself which claims to have identified the “loop-hole” that these greedy medics are exploiting.They then go to speak to three experts, two of whom take the view that these bonus payments should stop forthwith. It strikes me as a hatchet job on NHS consultants and whilst I carry no candle for them I can also see when they are being stitched up, if you’ll pardon the pun. What say you?
