Patients are suffering longer waiting times due to perverse tax rules that mean NHS consultants refuse overtime, it has been claimed.
Dr John Miller, a consultant who has worked for the NHS in the UK, abroad, and in the military, said his peers in their mid-40s and older have recently given up doing extra clinics, dropped patient sessions and refused overtime, due to changes to annual pension contribution limits.
The forthcoming autumn Budget could introduce even tighter rules, to help fund extra spending on the NHS.
