Good point about doctor-codgers. We’ll just have to conscript medical students. We can reward them with pay, and by making the remainder of their degrees free.

WTF are doctors going to do?

“My work is finished here.”

I think nurses rater than consultants are the likely target (assuming this is a real idea and not just today’s ‘line to take’), and they generally won’t have maxed out their pension pot.

Aren’t the political slime balls always saying they want to increase productivity in the NHS, but rather than using less labour per unit output, they increase it? They also want to make it more efficient, which they say can only be done by spending more money to get more out.
Could it be they do not know what productivity or efficiency means? (Rhetorical.)
