FT journalist asks pertinent questions about UK health service

Camilla Cavendish is a staff journalist with the Financial Times.

In a recent article on the NHS she writes:

“The first thing you would notice, if you were parachuted into the NHS is that it is a terrible employer. I can’t think of any organisation of this size where staff have little control over their schedules, and suffer bullying and discrimination despite spending hours in workshops on tolerance.

“... Rigid pay bands mean that the experience and dedication of the middle-ranking nurse, who’s worked for over 20 years, is not properly rewarded.”

Is it a similar story in Ireland?
