As seems to be the case with virtually everything these days – Covid, the cost of living, the Ukraine war – the junior doctors’ strike has given rise to a lot of discussion about the wrong things, in the wrong way.
To date, the focus has been on three big issues:
- The demand for a 35% pay rise
- A concurrent four-day strike period, directly after a bank holiday weekend
- The woke politics of the leaders of the junior doctors, in particular Dr. Rob Laurenson
All of this is understandable. A rise of 35% sounds like a lot (and it is); a four-day strike is hugely disruptive; and Laurenson seems almost a comic stereotype of a hard-left youngster with a very comfortable bourgeois upbringing and woke ideas. He also managed to arrange the strikes while he was away on holiday.
However, I think some context about how the NHS is managing its labour force will be helpful to many readers. This demands we address the tough conundrum of why the NHS is so bad at managing people.
The basic question that the people of the U.K. face in dealing with this issue is: How do we get better quality healthcare and better returns on our money? The structure of the NHS has much to do with answering this.
The envy of the world?
The NHS is the biggest employer in the U.K. In fact, it is practically a monopsonist. That is a fancy way of saying that it employs virtually all of the doctors in the country, in one way or another.
I am a chartered accountant by trade, but my parents and one of my brothers are doctors. I have been amazed by stories of just how wasteful the NHS is in the management of its workforce.
In my analysis, I will refer frequently to a recent piece by Kate Andrews in the Spectator, where she explores what junior doctors really earn. I build on this with my own data and arguments.
Let’s start with some basics. An F2 doctor (basically a doctor with one year’s post-graduation experience) can expect to earn roughly £40,000 gross per year, with uplifts for anti-social hours and London weighting. These uplifts can take that salary up to around £55,000 to £58,000 per annum.
However, an F2 has not decided on what specialism to pursue. In order to become a specialist, the doctor will need to join a training programme, which can take anywhere up to seven years to complete.
The NHS, in its wisdom, offers trainees a salary of £40,000 per annum for doing this. In other words, after a year or two earning around £55,000 a year, you have to take a pay cut in order to advance your career in the long run.
Once you are in that training scheme, your pay will begin to rise over time, but earning much more than £63,000 per annum as a senior registrar (the grade just below consultant) is unusual. That is, after many years of training, far more experience and steadily increasing responsibility, you might see your pay rise by about £8,000.
This goes some way to explaining why so many F2s now defer entering training – often by many years. The numbers doing so have risen from about 30% in 2010 to over 65% in 2019 (the latest year for which figures are available).
Then there is the locum issue. Locum rates vary hugely across the U.K. Locums working in the sticks (e.g. rural hospitals or the outer reaches of Northern Ireland) can earn £90,000 per annum putting in a normal working week, even in the most junior roles. Moreover, you are offered the best shifts. The nasty hours go to the full-time employees, at whatever grade.
Some locum roles offer as much as £80 per hour for an F2-equivalent role – that is £160,000 per annum.
On top of paying the locums these rates, the NHS also pays substantial fees to the locum agencies. Including agency fees for nurses (which will account for the bulk of this), these fees recently came to £3 billion per annum – just for finding the staff the NHS needs.
Andrews talks about the absence of a market rate for junior doctors, because the NHS is basically the sole employer in the U.K. However, this needs more analysis.
Firstly, NHS managers have created a much higher market rate within the U.K. by way of the locum roles. Secondly, they have created a higher market rate for F2+ roles (repeated taking up of F2 roles by doctors who theoretically have gone past that stage) than for specialist training roles. Thirdly, consider the mere existence of other countries – notably Australia – which pay better for less onerous roles. This means there is a higher market rate than the NHS is offering to doctors who would follow the conventional route of F2 followed immediately by specialist training. This is financially not a very smart move.
No one, as far as I can see, has addressed this. But junior doctors are human beings, and they will behave accordingly. As Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s less famous sidekick, says, “Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome.” The mess the NHS has made of its medical labour force is living proof of this.
NHS or America?
In any discussion of the health service, the debate too often moves to a binary choice between the loving bosom of the NHS and the horrible capitalist mess which is America’s healthcare system.
Too rarely do we discuss how countries such as Australia, Germany, France and the Netherlands, to name a few, handle their healthcare. Those countries don’t seem to indulge in cringeworthy public worship of their socialised medical systems. Nevertheless their health outcomes on many important indicators are better than ours. Some of them spend a little bit more on healthcare as a percentage of GDP than we do; some of them spend a little bit less.
The American model really is bad. It is hugely expensive, terribly wasteful and has exceptionally poor outcomes in terms of population health and overall life expectancy. The U.K. seems to be heading in the same direction, but with a large public system.
Can we learn from other countries? One key thing to establish is whether successful systems distort the medical labour market as much as the NHS does.
Anecdotally, Australia is the Shangri-La for modern medics. Pay is better, conditions are vastly better (more respect, superior management, computer systems which work etc.), and many health outcomes are better than the U.K.
Interestingly, Australia currently spends much the same on healthcare as a percentage of GDP as the U.K. does. And even more interestingly, until they brought in this revised system a decade or so ago, their public medical system was hardly the world beater it is today.
Compared to what?
Andrews’ article refers to “average earnings”. But is being a doctor an average career?
Leaving aside the structural questions of the market for medical earnings, how do we benchmark a career in medicine against other careers? We’d have to start by accounting for things like the amount of education and training; academic demands; levels of responsibility; and nature of the hours demanded. Medicine is at the extreme high end of all of these. It also stands alone if we account for the need to perform some unpleasant and emotionally draining tasks.
This takes us back to incentives. A healthy market has a way of taking all of this into account. People choose careers based on things like aptitude, passion and work ethic. The price of their labour responds, and, in turn, so do their decisions.
By way of a very quick comparison, a newly qualified solicitor working in a commercial firm can expect to earn £100,000 a year, including bonus, even outside London. Doctors know this.
Instead of intelligently working with price signals, the NHS appears to be throwing money at the problem – with very little accountability.
Public sector spending: Wider context
It may come as a surprise to readers that the annual cost of the full 35% pay rise demanded by the doctors comes to £2.1 billion, according to the Government’s own figures. In the context, this sounds like a small number.
It seems strange that the Government has been so tough on this issue, given its gross irresponsibility with public funds elsewhere.
For example, the U.K. spent £2.3 billion on aid to Ukraine last year, and expects to do the same again this year. HS2 is due to cost far in excess of £100 billion for no discernible benefit. Indeed, the plans for platforms at Euston have cost roughly £2 billion already.
The taxpayer pours many billions of pounds into green subsidies of one form or another. Virtually all of this ends up in the pockets of the rich who have invested in the various recipient companies.
And as we know all too well, the country spent roughly £500 billion during the Covid crisis. This sum would cover the cost of the junior doctors’ pay rise for 250 years. Consider just the ‘track and trace’ debacle, which cost the taxpayer roughly £40 billion, or 20 years of the junior doctors’ pay rise.
To me, this raises an important question about what we do and don’t talk about. As we all remember, debate over pandemic spending was suppressed. Even now there is precious little discussion of it.
Our public discussion currently focuses on junior doctors as the enemies of the day. This after lionising them for a couple of years ago while they were on message and backing the ludicrous Covid restrictions.
But if we really want to save money and improve healthcare in the U.K., we should be talking about locum rates, locum agency fees, NHS management costs and economic incentives generally. We aren’t.

“Is it foolish to think the world can achieve Net Zero by 2050?”
Still no-one asking why we need to achieve Nett Zero..?
Three graphs to show exactly why we don’t…
“Still no-one asking why we need to achieve Net zero.”
Exactly.
The presumption being that Net Zero will put everything right. The real problem is that people like Ross Clark continuing to discuss this nonsense are failing the public with such dishonesty. The Davos Deviants know that Net Zero is impossible, they know it will achieve only misery and mayhem and that is precisely why it will continue. Net Zero is simply the perfect control mechanism.

“The deep absurdity of HS2 diversity’s agenda”
I confess I read this article with a raised eyebrow. Yes, even a crusty old sceptic like me finds it hard to imagine how educated people can get so bound up in this irrelevant nonsense instead of doing their jobs.
“Why do public sector workers take more time off sick?”
Not withstanding those with genuine illness, I believe that the perception of civil servants has changed. They appear to believe the purpose of the public sector has flipped from serving the people, to being served by the people. They kept working all through Covid, you know. People banged pans and everything.
“Protect the NHS” rather than “protect the sick”…
It’s always been that way. The public sector is an idle parasite class funded by the hard work of the private sector.
Re:
https://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/regulation/doctors-to-take-legal-action-against-gmc-over-inaction-on-covid-vaccine-misinformation/
The group of doctors wanting action to be taken wish to remain anonymous. Oh, diddums, the poor little darlings hiding under the cloak of anonymity says it all really.
Hmm, the GMC allegedly have an obligation to uphold public trust in the profession. They have failed miserably in that aspect, particularly since March 2020. Too busy following the faked science and nefarious agenda…
I found this article appaling – the hounding of Dr Malhotra is despicable.
I winder who the ‘doctors’ are? Sincerely hope it isn’t someone I go to – or not as the case maybe.
Greenhalgh is the bat shit nutter who thinks masks are a good idea so obviously she doesn’t have a good relationship with facts and evidence, unlike Dr Malhotra.
And some of the anonymous contributors might be on strike to protect their balance sheets.
OK, that’s the first 15mins of a lawyer’s time covered.
More seriously, if they suddenly get large donations I would be very interested in where they come from, but not surprised if it’s big pharma or Uncle Bill. If instead they get lots of little donations I’d be astonished.
That explains it. The action is being led by Prof Greenhalgh – Dr Mask herself, the woman who wants everyone to wear a mask all the time, everywhere and forever. To be fair to the GMC – a tough call considering their awful track record – their inaction so far is in Dr Malhotra’s favour and, the longer they prevaricate, the more research will surface about side effects, etc. Greenhalgh’s comments in the piece are already untenable and provably so. It depends how vindictive the GMC want to be: if this action is upheld and they are forced to go against Malhotra, it could backfire spectacularly and become their own Brand moment.
Possible extradition for the Nazi in Canada that was given standing ovations FFS. Of course Turdeau blames Russia! The guy is 98yrs, for crying out loud. What do we think is reasonably going to happen? Justice? He’s been swanning around, enjoying his freedom for decades, just like many other war criminals. I don’t know why these things have to wait until these people are, frankly, well past their expiry date. Even the super deadly Covid didn’t take him out.
”The Canadian government insists two rounds of standing applause for a 98-year-old Waffen-SS volunteer was a mistake borne of ignorance, meanwhile, Poland is moving to extradite the elderly trooper over potential war crime charges.
The Polish government is taking steps to examine the case for extraditing a 98-year-old former SS trooper from Canada, it has said in a letter to the Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation.
State Minister for Education and Science Przemysław Czarnek wrote to the President of the Commission to examine whether it held documents indicating that Canadian resident Yaroslav Hunka was wanted for crimes against Polish and Jewish people relating to his time as a soldier with the Waffen-SS in the Second World War.
If there is evidence against Hunka, Czarnek wrote, this would constitute grounds for Poland to apply to the Canadian government to extradite the man for prosecution.”

I read this article earlier today about ‘Russian disinformation’ and nazis. It’s a good read.
https://mathewaldred.substack.com/p/nato-nazis
98? So he was born in 1925? So 14 at the start of the war, and 20 by the end of it? Now, I am all for justice etc, but some of these people had to decide between compliance and being tortured and killed. It’s too late.
Meanwhile, from 2020 onwards it has been clear that it’s ok to slay old folk with midazolam, and the quacks will administer anything you like for a few quid. Who is the more culpable, the old geezer or the modern crop of camp guards?
And if ever there was a modern day Nazi it’s Turdeau! It’s actually amazing how so many of these leaders have come out of their closets as proper dictators in the last few years. And what justice can we reasonably expect for the Ardens, Faucis, Bidens etc of the world? That’ll be diddley squat then..If Turdeau condemns this 98yr old as a ”war criminal” then that’s the height of hypocrisy, in my opinion, because this evil tosser seemingly gets to commit crimes against humanity with impunity.
The point is well made. When the difficulties of 2020 emerged, the behaviour of many politicians and their acolytes and petty bureaucrats led me to think that it would be easy to go down the same plughole as many German people did in the 1930s. Perhaps we are all at risk of that, by being too compliant with the latest idea.
Precisely. The link you posted yesterday with the collation of Australian police brutality winds me up into a proper fury. Reminds me of the need to keep the pitchforks sharpened. Illustrates why we spent most of 2021 afraid of what the state was going to do next. Hopefully someone somewhere will gather together examples from around the 5 eyes nations to illustrate how far the west has sunk into a mess of corruption, illegality and brutality.
Excellent comment.
When an entire national Parliament makes a mistake borne [sic] of an ignorance refuted even by the Speaker’s introductory remarks about Churchill, then it’s time for the entire political establishment to get sacked.
Ye gods – “None of us knew that Russia was fighting the Nazis in World War 2.”
..I’m not convinced that something a little more sinister isn’t going on. I don’t think there’s a chance in hell Trudeau didn’t know who he was..there are photos of him waiting to meet Trudeau before the event..all over the web.…..and Chrystia Freeland who has a Ukrainian Nazi grandfather, has semi-regular meeting with the fascist Canadian Ukrainian OUN…….she knew…

This video of Freeland and Trudeau .. meeting with Ukrainian Canadians, during Elensky’s visit it pretty sickly, and if you go to around 21 mins in, and listen to the Trudeau rant..he sounds pretty unhinged?
It has always been well known that Ukraine has problems with far-right groups, and Nazi groups….this doesn’t mean Putin is right..it just means it’s stupid to pretend that something that is obvious and true, should be swept under the rug, to suit a political situation…

It seems to me that for their own political expediency there is a push to make Nazism more palatable to the West…?

Looks like Ireland’s population is booming. Unfortunately nothing to do with increased births among the native population though. Crime has also significantly increased, but I’m sure it’s just a correlation. Unless they bother to record the ethnicity of who’s committing these extra crimes that is.
”The Republic of Ireland’s population has grown by almost 2 percent in a year after 141,600 immigrants entered the country between April 2022 and April 2023 — the highest total in a twelve-month period for nearly two decades.
Data published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows the extent of the recent immigration influx into the country as more people flocked to the island nation than during the 2016 migrant crisis.
The latest figure is only surpassed in recent history during the years of the Celtic Tiger, a term referring to the economic boom experienced in the country at the turn of the century.
More than half of new arrivals during the current period originated from outside the European Union, the majority of which are understood to be Ukrainian refugees.
The immigration surge now sees the Irish population estimated at 5,281,600, up by 97,600 on the previously reported figure last year and an increase of almost 2 percent.
This equates to the population of the United States increasing by around 7 million in a year, or Germany’s by 1.7 million.
“It’s very difficult for an economy to be building and absorbing that number of people in terms of housing, the bits of the economy that are difficult to throw up overnight,” Prof. Alan Barrett, director of the Economic and Social Research Institute, told the Irish Times.”

He’s a one that Nick Robinson isn’t he, fully on board with Newspeak?
“News Avoiders” – is that Orwell speak for “not me Guv?”
Actually Robo the Today programme is shedding listeners because:
1. It’s the BBC and more and more people realise its a propoganda machine
2. You lot haven’t the balls to put out proper journalism and the audience knows it is being lied to.
3. Simple market forces old chap – if your product isn’t good enough people won’t buy. Obviously ‘market forces’ as a concept is a difficult one for a highly remunerated BBC staffer but that’s what it is.
Always blame the customer – it works every time


Quite agree. Also the fear porn that they push out. I have switched to Radio 3. Lovely in the mornings (but their “news” is very weird).
Top notch, HP! ‘News avoiders’ though – you gotta laugh or cry! It’s just the latest version of ‘climate deniers’, ‘anti-vaxxers’ and ‘conspiracy theorists’ – a meaningless phrase from the eternally baffled, cognitively dissonanced, evil agenda and propaganda spreaders. I’m a ‘news avoider’ and proud of it. I avoid it wherever I am and have no idea of what the actual ‘news’ is other than through a process of deduction on here and other platforms.
Thanks Aethelred.
Actually “news avoider” is a sinister phrase. It suggests that those of us who have had the good sense to stay away from MSM are somehow guilty of a crime; a bit like staying away from the jibby jabs. Saintly Nick has done nothing wrong of course, he is sill a legend in his own BBC universe.
It would appear that Saintly Nick simply doesn’t understand basic economics which is quite alarming for someone in his position.
Perhaps his P45 will wake him up.
Sinister indeed. I wonder if he considers watchers of GB news as “News avoiders”. Next stop – you won’t get to vote unless you listen to an hour a day of left wing approved news so you are appropriately informed.
There’s a reason that Reuters are also seeing a precipitous drop in interest:
I sometimes hope that TNI has simply failed but on other occasions I wonder if it was intended to cause people to ‘tune out’ current affairs news.
As an example, the 20mph urban default speed limit in Wales: A bit late for the 400,000 signatures on the petition against – it would have been better before the law changed. Although it was a manifesto commitment people didn’t really engage with the issue until it was already too late.
‘News avoiders!!’
I used to listen to the Today Programme religiously every morning, probably from the mid-1980s to about 2009. At 7pm every morning, the clock radio would come on and the pips would sound. Eventually, I got so fed up of the propaganda, the fawning over New Labour, the spitting at the Tories, the way everyone appearing on there was rushed to speak in about one minute while constantly being interrupted that I stopped. I was increasingly starting my day vaguely stressed out and irritated.
The alt-media that the BBC hates so much gives me stuff like Triggernometry where people calmly sit down for an hour or so and talk. There’s multi-episode chaired debate coming up about Conservatism and Liberalism between two professors. Daily Wire recently had a two-part debate about Catholicism and Protestantism chaired by Candace Owens – about two hours’ worth. The ‘accessible’, lowest-common-denominator MSM doesn’t want to do stuff like that anymore, so why would I pay attention to it?
Erm. 7pm every morning? Yes alright, I’m nitpicking. I think we know what you mean.
Yes, I too used to rely on it a lot. Clock radio to wake up, radio on in the bathroom, in the car and small radio on the train into work.
06:00 AM for me: I recall waking to Today on Radio 4 the morning after the 1992 election when John Major retained the job of Prime Minister. It was so unexpected that I thought the programme makers had launched into an ‘aren’t we clever, we even had a segment pre-prepared for this impossible outcome‘.
I also recall leaping from my bed when I heard there had been a terrorist bomb next to my company’s office in London; I’d been working on our DR plan the previous week and knew we were nowhere near ready.
There’s actually a citizen’s initiative here in the Netherlands too, at Ter Apel where all the immigrants are processed. Crime has risen significantly in the area so locals have made a whatsapp group and they apprehend anyone, such as a thief, do a citizen’s arrest, tie them up then ring the police. I was very impressed when I watched the video. Citizens are having to step up and do the work of the police though, who can’t cope. It’s hardly a long-term solution. Decent people shouldn’t have to live like this. Cut the head off the snake.
”As is by now well known, very few of the millions of Muslims who have been arriving in Europe are true “asylum seekers,” though a great many claim to be; they are very rarely fleeing persecution and murder. They are, instead, economic migrants, eager to batten on the benefits that the generous welfare states of western Europe provide. These include free or greatly-subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including vocational training), unemployment benefits (even without a work history in Europe), family allowances, and more. But for some Muslims, even that largesse is not enough. They want more, and they supplement their welfare benefits with the proceeds from street robberies and house burglaries.
Muslims in France, though only 10% of the population, make up 50-60% of the prisoners. In the UK., Muslims are 4% of the population, but 25% of prisoners. In Germany, Muslims are 5% of the population, and 23% of prisoners. Muslims committing crimes of property often use violence to intimidate their victims. In one city in Germany, having lost faith in the police’s ability to adequately protect the population from this Muslim crime wave, older students, and parents, too, have organized patrols and self-defense groups. More on this development can be found here: “Germany: Students arm themselves in city of Halle as violent robberies soar, parents describe ‘broken police force,’”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/09/germany-students-in-halle-arm-themselves-against-muslim-migrants
Found it. The video’s worth watching even though it’s in Dutch. You’ll get the gist. Basically the locals formed a vigilante group and organized themselves to apprehend and detain migrants because there was a spate of robberies. Well who’s going to sit back and do nothing if they see their bikes, scooters and other possessions getting stolen? Big respect for showing this initiative. It’s like taking ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ to the next level.
”As a citizen, are you allowed to tie up a burglar with zip ties? It happened last week in Ter Apel, where members of the civil guard arrested two asylum seekers. Citizens are increasingly taking matters into their own hands to track down and arrest criminals. But how far can you go as a citizen?
The vigilante in Ter Apel was established to track down and arrest suspected criminals. The village suffers from so-called safelanders, asylum seekers with little chance of a residence permit.
According to local residents, they cause a lot of nuisance and so citizens are taking matters into their own hands. Figures previously showed that nowhere in the Netherlands does more shoplifting occur per inhabitant than in the municipality where Ter Apel is located.”

The Spiked article about Mark Drakeford’s worth reading
latest leaflet
“Millions of train journeys that took commuters in and out of the capital during the week are no longer taking place, prompting fears that the drive to return workers to London is failing, says the Mail.”
Why “fear”? What “drive” is failing? Who is “driving”? People are voting with their feet. London is crowded and often unpleasant. I don’t miss it. I don’t think it is in any danger of becoming a ghost town. Perhaps this will boost the towns from which people used to commute. Rush hour was simply bloody awful, now it is more bearable. I just don’t see why this is a “problem”.
