"It's your fault." Rishi Sunak confronted by doctor after blaming NHS waiting list on strikes | LBC 

A privileged person who doesn’t and will never get how the workers feel, at least have empathy and not pull faces in a meeting, that’s the first golden rule of HR

Yes also I think he forgot he was not just on radio but being filmed as well

Agree

Totally agree!!

Then what? Honest question.

worked for Goldman Sachs so that is exactly who he is

You hit the nail on the head.

Spot on Mark

A con man..lol

He's a Tech Bro.

Funny thing is olivia was right. Sunak has blamed the doctors striking on numerous occasions, for long waiting lists, in the house of commons and when someone says it he pulls a face. Conservatives take on no responsibility for what they have done and it’s everyone else’s fault.

Hey~! He was not even Voted in! Let's not forget that Fact.

You're doing a fantastic job, along with all your colleagues. We really do appreciate you. Don't believe the spin from government and this ridiculous excuse for a Prime Minister. WE all deserve so much better.

The NHS is doing badly because it’s terribly inefficient, poorly managed and has no financial accountability.

Millionaires who are not affected by the NHS waiting lists directly tend to act that way.

He only cares about money that Israeli taxpayers give him

He didn’t even respond. Your bias is on display

👏👏👏

Yes and no. He cares on an ego level. On an empathy level, nope.

It is insulting.

He doesn’t have his script. The robot doesn’t know what to say

She speaks of retention and Fishy Sunak over here's talking about replacing 🤦🏾‍♂️ like that's going to help retain the numbers lost or losing at the moment. He's a pillock.

Almost smiled?? THAT WAS A SMILE!!

i’m stunned by this exchange😮

How

That smugness on his face while she's talking about how it's his respnsibility..

It was a bit like mansplaining really... he wasnt listening to this woman at all, arrogant prat that rishi is..

His own MP's up and down the country think the same, broken party and that means instability.

He is a disgustingly arrogant person!

It's an insult to the great country of Britain!

Doctors said this is what would happen under the Tories. Nobody listened. The NHS was untouchable people thought. Look how they messed it up.

He’s a TW&T pure and simple

He's better than boris Johnson and liz truss combined.

Your dam right look at the face expression he ain’t fit to tie the laces of the nhs doctors let alone be running the country

Tell me one company people are happy working for

I'm surprised he stayed quiet to listen

He was not in any way 'shocked'. You realise that, don't you? His every gesture and word is insincere.

He couldn’t handle the brutal truth .. I feel that smiley smiley mask is beginning to slip as his true colours come to light

It's not how it really is.

Yes, your arrogance is showing. He's shocked because the lazy amd greedy staff are blaming No10 for there own incompetence.

Unfortunately the Nursing Unions supported the transition to 12 hour shifts with minimal breaks and handovers because it allows their members to get a weeks work done in 3 days. They then use the other 4 days to carry out childcare duties, partying or moonlighting. A fairly quick and simple way to reduce stress and tiredness would be to return to a regular pattern of 8 hour shifts.

@@keithrobb4509 That is a bit of a cynical response. There is no partying or 'moonlighting', whatever that is, for my daughter. The first day off is just sleep around the clock, but she has to do babysitting for one of her sisters, and carer duties for me, her mum. If the hours were reduced, even to 10 hours, to 3.5 days of work, the longterm health impact wouldn't be so heavy. I wonder how many NHS midwives abscond somewhere down the line...

Bless her she deserves better ❤

I hope Labour sorts this out. They also need to bring back bursaries and free training for nurses and midwives, so we can get more people in post and not charge them to get there.

Don’t you contempt junior doctors for wanting over double that of inflation as a pay rise when there essentially apprentices? Do you deserve more money now inflation is at 14%? Because if you think you do then how can you support junior doctors wanting an insane 35% pay increase when they already earn more than 50% of the country.. if you don’t think you deserve more money for normal jobs then again how can you not laugh at people who think it’s acceptable to make inflation worse for everyone else so junior doctors can live like kings compared to the rest of us.. 35% is more than double the inflation rate. That would cost billions which would make food, gas, electric more expensive for everyone in the country and you think it’s not a joke that the selfish junior doctors would rather everyone else suffer so they can have an insane pay rise instead of working hard to become a senior doctor and be on £100,000 per year anyway without a pay rise which is the ultimate goal of every junior doctor so to say in their apprentice stage they deserve to be well off and be able to have a house, sports car and pay off all their debts before their even a proper doctor is utterly ridiculous and I don’t think you could of thought this through you must just be going along with what everyone is repeating without understanding how it impacts everyone in the country this pay increase of again 35%.. you can say doctors deserve everything they can get but we the people have to pay for it because money doesn’t grow on trees it has to be printed and every pound that is made makes inflation worse which means everything you buy to survive will cost more. So if inflation increases to 20% but you get a 20% increase you are no better off but everyone else who did not get the pay increase now has to pay an extra fifth on every single thing they buy.. if you can’t understand that you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

@@Underground247 I don't have any contempt for anyone in any profession taking action to try and stick up for themselves against a government that has systematically overseen the dismantling of public services in this country for the last decade and a half. To say they are essentially apprentices shows a dire misunderstanding of what a junior doctor is or the work they do. They have completed five years of university before entering into a hugely overworked workforce, doing extremely high stress and potentially life saving work at a very young age. Regardless, your ire should still be directed to the people who created the conditions that necessitated a strike; the Tory government. Not only did they allow public services to crumble, their wanton disregard for sensible economic policy in favour of insane ideological dogma and pandering to the uber-wealthy has allowed inflation to get to this point, which is of course hurting everyone. But that doesn't mean we should be angry people for saying this is unacceptable. I think if everyone took your approach then it would just be a case of accepting the erosion of living conditions because if one group complained then that is somehow a slight on everyone else? That's not a society I would like to live in. The 35% increase is merely a demand to have their salaries returned, in real terms, to what they were being paid in 2008. If 35% sounds like a lot that is emblematic of how horrific a government has to be to allow doctors pay to be cut by such a huge amount over the last 15 years. Also, paying our healthcare staff enough would lead to better outcomes for patients, which would prevent repeat visits, extended periods on expensive medication or indeed prevent the need for some expensive operations. It's not just frittering money away. Not to mention that compared other rich countries we hardly invest anything into our healthcare as it is. It's understaffed (with many doctors leaving because they can get better pay elsewhere...) and doesn't have enough equipment to treat the people who so desperately need it. Our survival rate from heart attacks and cancers are extremely poor in this country. When you look at all of that, it is really, really hard to tell junior doctors they are being unreasonable. These are not people who chose a career for reasons of greed, and they all know when they agree to do the job that it is going to be gruelling both physically and mentally. So you know that when they say enough is enough, they aren't making things up.

@@Underground247 You conveniently forgot to mention them being on effective pay cuts for the last 10+ yrs.

​@@Underground247the 35% isn't a payrise. Its to take their salary back to the level it was at in 2010 when Jeremy Hunt as health sec brought in measures to lower their salary. How much contempt do you have for them when you assume they all drive xpensiv sports cars. Sunak stood on his door step applauding the NHS during the pandemic and now he actually blames them for the increased waiting time. But worse of all he actually believes he's right

are you a bot?@@Underground247

what else do you want him to do about it? it’s parliament that appropriates money and makes laws, and the people that elect the parliament. ultimately it’s the voters’ fault for not wanting to pay the necessary taxes to improve the NHS.

He is a classic case of a tyrant who has no shame, no responsibilities, no regret, no compassion, .. Do you know the medical term for this? Anti-social behavior.

Elephant in the room the media never mention, why? because these mooks are all all bent and in each others pockets. Our system has rotted to its core, I fear the only route to change will be through violence. Government should fear us but we fear them, and the media are just blatant paid liars, shills and propagandists.

They have been in power with an 80 seat majority for ages. If they wanted to do anything other than get richer, they would have. Same for immigration.....they 'protest' while stamping every visa.

There are shortages as those that left value money over the job and are lured by private healthcare or overseas work where it's different living conditions. Sure private pay but then they charge a fortune too for care which pays for it.if funding was cut for cosmetic and mental health garbage it would help

@@frankwhite12345well people ( not me btw) voted the conservatives in and seem to keep doing it in this country. There haven’t been many Labour, or any other party, terms in the last 50 years. This country seems to be set up politically for these eton toffs and their chums to get in.

Yep. Since when have the ultra rich politicians ever owned up to their own failures?

Yeah, when he sat down. 😂

Was he ever?

Well the waiting lists have nothing to do with the strikes, it’s to do with with being over populated by immigration, u should be going on strike about that instead of money because money isn’t going to take the stress of the workload away that’s increasing every day. The funny thing is I never see any nhs staff mentioning that this is the real problem.

​@@Surgeeonyes because every single immigrant needs hospital care or doctors appointment everyday? Go back to reading the Sun please

@@patfurious3293 hospitals are built and designed for capacity. U can’t increase a population and not build more hospitals and expect them to cope. It’s not rocket science, not my fault if u don’t know how maths works

​@@patfurious3293I'm afraid your comment is the ignorant one Pat. Making the jump to racism on what is a genuine valid point, that has nothing to do with race.

@@patfurious3293you need to wake up pal. It’s no coincidence that there’s a housing shortage,medical care is backed up,short of police,fire and ambulance staff. Piled together with the fact they want to abolish the nhs so we have to pay more tax. It’s a sad time when you can honestly say the only politician I have seen who’s in power today,look after there own is putin. Sad but true.

This is always true, even in the fast food and waste industries

Yeah but the tories are economically illiterate

NOT if they bring them in from India like they have done with nurses in Ireland. The majority of our nurses are from India.

I don't think that you listened. The staff want more pay AND more staff. A 35% pay increase AND tens of thousands of new recruits is unsustainable for a oubljcally funded I situation. Wake up.

He smirks bc she’s wrong. Doctors striking does have a massive negative effect on waiting times

And the fact he's black comes into it a little bit too

Months? Try 4 year waiting list to get PTSD treatment

Hes just a rich banker 😂

Yup this is happening in education right now. Experienced educators are leaving the profession in droves and the department’s solution is to just lower the requirements required to become a teacher and with these new teachers being thrown to the wolves with insufficient training and they’re burning out quicker and quitting sooner 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Worked hard, they worked so hard through the pandemic they found time to dance for tik tok.

😂

❤ thank you for your team’s service! I think a national health service is amongst the toughest jobs you can do, and Primary Care has to pick up a lot of slack across a broader failing healthcare system. Imagine the long waiting lists and patients developing further complications or worsening of existing issues. I think it’s also sad that simple ‘thank yous’ have disappeared too- particularly since Covid-19. There was a tangible change when primary care was thrown under a bud by the media, despite a previous push for virtual consultations. I could talk for days, but all I wanted to say was big ❤ for you people.

Humour?

NHS needs both

@@Liverpool1ne I worked as an executive for a medical city in the Middle East. I was paid very well and I also fired lots of useless managers who pretended to work when all they did was complicate simple matters. The NHS is hemorrhaging funds that could be used to pay the medical staff who are the most important individuals without whom hospitals and clinics cannot work. Managers and administrative staff are pencil pushers who only "work" for 8 hours a day. The rate of pay should be no more than 20 GBP per hour at the highest end of the scale for managers and they should not receive bonuses and other undeserved rewards! Doctors and nurses should earn more, starting at 30 GBP for the life saving work that they do. While I agree managers and administrative staff are necessary we cannot compare the work they do with what the Medical staff accomplish for 16 hours every day. Their pay should reflect their time and value.

@@JESUS.IS.LORD.AND.GOD.FOREVER I don’t disagree, but try running the NHS without any managers. What we need is best value from the system for patients with minimal waste and a fair recompense for those working within it. No one was comparing the value of clinical vs non clinical staff 👍🏻

@@Liverpool1ne Clearly, I never said the NHS could be run without managers. I said they're being over paid and they don't deserve to be. Meanwhile doctors and nurses who do ACTUAL WORK have to deal with more than their fair share of cases, while being on their feet for 16 hours shifts to care for patients. They are being overworked, under paid and undervalued. They can barely get by with what they're paid due to their student loans and are left unable to afford basic things like rent, transportation and even food. Meanwhile, NHS directors, managers and some admin staff get salaries to the tune of 100,000 GBP to 200,000 GBP per year which is not including the other ridiculous perks and bonuses they receive on top of their salaries which is unfair and forgivable! I would know how to manage the NHS and the first thing I would do is get rid of the current minister of health because he should be a medical professional. Then I would get rid of all managers in every medical department of every hospital throughout the NHS entirely and replace them all with individuals who come from a medical background as well. I would only keep HR, Accounting and reception staff but everyone else would have to go so the NHS can start to operate efficiently and effectively. It isn't hard to do at all.

⁠​⁠@@JESUS.IS.LORD.AND.GOD.FOREVER just to pick up a few key points. 1. Managers tend to be band 8 and above on NHS payscale so bear in mind that many ‘managers’ are not those portrayed as being on six figure salaries. 2. I don’t think the answer to paying the entire NHS frontline workforce a higher wage is to remove pay from managers, it is to properly fund the NHS in the first place. Sure there will be efficiencies if you look at back office roles and senior management salaries but not enough to fund the billions we are talking about here. 3. It wouldn’t be at all practical to replace all of the managers with staff from medical backgrounds because there simply aren’t enough, a point the caller emphasised to the PM, and of course fewer and fewer are welcome due to our delightful Home Secretary and her policies. So in summary, given a blank sheet of paper and unlimited resources yes you could achieve what you claim isn’t hard to sort out but in reality it isn’t possible. I don’t blame the PM personally for the running of the NHS, I blame the conservatives for years of chronic underfunding, lack of investment and the numerous wasteful exercises that the NHS has been through over the years with started with Lansley in 2013. If we had a better economy (Brexit 🥱), better healthcare prevention, better housing, better food on our plates, we would as a country be in a far better place, be able to fund services appropriately and have better outcomes as a result (including fairer pay).

He is clear to himself: his agenda is to dismantle the NHS one piece at a time until the only 'obvious' solution, none of his fault of course, is to implement privatisation. This will happen unless the nation makes a stand and demands better treatment of our NHS

My daughter left the NHS after 10 years of working for them, her manager *BEGGED* her to stay but for her own sanity and finances working for the NHS had become untenable. She is in a position, working for a private company, earning over 4 times what she was earning and not expected to work without pay or have to jump through hoops to get her expenses paid for. She loves the NHS and all it stands for but this government is running it into the ground and the staff are burning out as a result, the amount of staff, in her department alone, on long term sick leave is astronomical and agencies charge an arm and a leg for their staff. This is privatisation by stealth
