If they culled the number of useless bureaucrats, temp agency nurses, and overpaid consultants, maybe the money could be put to better use, including more generous pay increases should the need arise.

Hi
I disagree about salaries.
https://uk.jobted.com/salary/staff-nurse
The highest paid are ICU Nurses, which I have recently spent a lot of time with.
English nurses are now being charged to qualify and start on very low salaries.
We need to go back to the old system, free training but you stay with the NHS for 3 years after qualification.
I agree about Agency Nurses, they get a mint, but that is simply because we are not training our own.
As for Management, I agree entirely.
