Less than 30% of NHS consultants do ANY private work. The government screwed up the new consultant contract because they thought it would force people to do more NHS work - in fact it transpired that the average consultant did in excess of 50 hours per week for the NHS and all the sums were wrong causing a huge extra pay bill for the treasury - d'oh.


I would count non-serious repetitive use training injuries as somewhere in the sports equipment / nutrition / luxury item field that we might reasonably be expected to pay for or wait for - and I HATE private medicine

paulo, i am a afraid you are talking rather stupid and you should know better.
first, less than 30% of consultants are doing ANY private work assumes that consultants have morals , well WHO is doing all this fecking BUPA work then? the pope?
secondly, if you are correct then these 30% should be sacked and thrown in jail and all their possessions should be confiscated.
thirdly, plumbers are usually (until thatcher the milk snatcher ended all apprenticeships) paid for by the employer or by the employee himself in the way of vocational courses.
lastly, i am quite disturbed by your quote of actually hating private medicine, but you seem to give a reassuring thumbs up to the new labour fascist by claiming that non serious repetitive injuries should be privatized.
