On 16 November, Barclay wrote to the NHS pay review body, which advises ministers what size of uplift staff apart from doctors and dentists should receive, giving them their remit for the 2023-24 settlement. While it did not specify the 2% figure, the NHS Confederation hospitals body, the Health Foundation thinktank and several health unions all say that the fact that NHS England’s budget for 2023-24 has already been set means that is the sum Barclay is keen to see awarded, with a 1% contingency potentially making it a 3% rise. Either sum is likely to provoke further unrest among NHS staff.

A shocking government and Labour isn't the answer and I don't know what is given the entrenchment of the current system. Proportional representation won't help either - quite the contrary.
Broken.

Ah yes, but who broke it? To be fair, do you keep voting for them.
BTW, PR is the start of the answer ...
