Like many employees of the NHS, I reacted with horror when I heard of Jeremy Hunt's plans to scrap our promised 1% pay rise and use the money to restructure our pay.
His plan is to scrap the increments we receive every 12 months within the Agenda for Change bands.
When the public reacted with outrage at the high pay and bonuses that bankers were given we were told that this is what the taxpayer needs to spend to get the best people for the job. So why is it that the same doesn't apply to getting the best people for the job of caring for us when we are most vulnerable and saving our lives?
