I can *really* assure you that NHS staff do not get paid
'peanuts'. 13 years of NuLab saw the NHS budget leap from
£38 Billion to £115 Billion and most of that increase was
down to increased staff costs. The headcount went from 960,000
in 1997 to 1,350,000 by 2007.

And remember, up to 2011 they only paid 6% superannuation
towards their 40/80'ths final salary pension (plus one-off
3x 1st years pension as a tax-free lump sum.).

So why does the NHS struggle to recruit qualified staff?
