Public sector pay

[hatzel]

Need I say more? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11319918)

Particularly pay attention to 'the figures', as the tab at the top says. Nice to know where taxpayers' money's going, but I don't know if we can be at all happy with it. And where the hell is Hertfordshire NHS getting the money to pay almost 900 people more than £100.000?! Aren't they supposed to be spending all that money on, you know...machines, beds, stuff like that? I dunno...

Some argue that the delivery of top quality public services commands high wages.

Oh yeah, I'd much rather the money went towards some bastards 20th Bentley so they feel slightly more encouraged to do their job than the money going towards something that could potentially save lives. :rolleyes:
