NHS JUNIOR DOCTORS and pay in the NHS
What I think is wrong with the NHS is that there are to many sections with a different pay structure. Most businesses have one structure. This would give all staff a fair income. Doctors, Junior Doctors, Managers ( of which there are to many) Nurses, Careers, Ambulance Drivers, Paramedics, Cleaners, Porters. Sorry if I have missed any section, but I think you get the problem.
To put it in perspective a secretary get paid more than a Junior Doctor.
