1/18 THOUGHT for the #Coronation W/E:

Our NHS is a "jewel in the crown" of UK. But pay in the NHS has been #RoyallyScrewed 👇

2/18 Firstly H/T @jburnmurdoch - the graph above was very much inspired by his excellent analysis & charts on NHS pay. This thread of his (which excluded consultants pay) is very much worth a read

@jburnmurdoch 3/18 But coming back to my chart you will see that measured against "consumer price index", pay versus that measure has completely failed to keep up inflation - with

Consultants ⬇️⬇️DOWN £38,764/yr
"Junior" docs (all gds) ⬇️⬇️DOWN £17,394/yr
Nurses DOWN ⬇️£5,146/yr Image

@jburnmurdoch @FT 3/29 Let me explain. The top blue line - representing "all workers" from "all sectors" are broadly close in pay terms where their pay was in March 2009 - before austerity began to bite (around only 3.1% below in real terms) ImageImage
