O/T:- Support the NHS

[MAD_MAGPIE]

As an NHS employee m'sen I'm humbled / appreciative of all the appreciation, but also a bit embarrassed.

Now I've got to be heroic and truth be told I'm anything but heroic - just a bit scared.

To be scared when facing the enemy is normal. However to be scared and continue to carry on your duty serving and helping the sick people of this country is brave and courageous.

Much respect and appreciation. The wonderful NHS staff really are heroes in the truest and sincere sense.

Couldn't agree more, but will the message get home to those in power? On a daily basis I hear our PM talking about "our wonderful NHS staff". Now their real value has been highlighted, I wonder if he will put his bold words into actions like decent pay rises and genuine investment into the organisation they work for. I won't be holding my breath.

I wish you would.

That is the big question. Will those in power learn from this crisis and will the NHS staff be adequately funded and supported in the future?

The general mood of the public from what we have seen in the past week towards NHS staff appears to be appreciation, gratitude and respect. In the future maybe the staff will be taken care of after they have taken care of us.

For example private companies and individuals could decide to offer NHS staff free bus travel, free on site parking indefinitely which would be like a pay rise to many.

But it’s the governments responsibility to take the lead. The bravery and courage the NHS staff are displaying now and will be in the coming days and weeks cannot and must never be forgotten. I only hope the government recognise this in the future with their actions when it comes to wage rises and investment as you say.

.............and all the best to you mate. The quiet before the storm but she's ready. I apologise if you've told us before, but coming from Leeds, why do you support Notts? Must be a Nottingham connection or simply the sensible thing to do.

My dad made sure I supported notts mate, I think I was about five for my first game. I have got a soft spot for Leeds though, I hope they go back up when the season starts. Have a good night mate.
