Why is BBC Scotland not reporting thousands of NHS staff accepting a pay rise to maintain Scotland unique strike-free health care over several years?

Professor John Robertson OBA

BBC Scotland’s 12 top stories today with no mention of this:

I feel sure BBC Scotland’s Health Correspondent, Lisa Summers, gets the Nursing Times so why is this not in the public interest?

In April, the offer was reported but only enable this grudging comment:

It could also mean Holyrood ministers having to find the extra funding from elsewhere in their budget.

This is a deliberate editorial decision to deny BBC Scotland’s audience anything that might make them feel better about Scotland, the Scottish Government or, of course the SNP.

  1. Slightly OT, but noted the lead story approved by James Cook as yet another link in the chain of stories as smokescreen to the unfolding disaster over England’s water supplies https://archive.ph/Mns05

    I doubt any would deny control of WICS expenditure was lax, but to see the criticism come from Ricardo Leotardo given his role in the long running women’s equal pay dispute in GCC is nothing short of hypocrisy on stilts – His “But we want to see concrete evidence of these changes to ensure that the unacceptable culture that was in place has truly gone” might be better satisfied by Glaswegians by his sponsored GMB Roland Rat inflatable filled with cement and parked and pinned to his drive.

    Leotardo has contributed nothing but criticism with the rider of “wasn’t me” his entire life, a tradition his successor “read my lips” Sarwar has continued to evoke.

    For perspective, the CEO of WICS salary max of 170k is slightly under that of the CEO of Ofwat at 185k, but the expenses involved are not exposed by MSM in England. unlike Scotland’s MSM/political mafia.

    In short, England has been headed toward a potable water disaster for decades and is now having to face up to the consequence of HMG failure to plan ahead – I’m not in the least minimising SW’s concerns over continued potable water availability, but it’s nowhere remotely close to the disaster facing England – And it’s only May.
