Iirc we spend less of our GDP on health than any other developed nation or G7 nation, one of the two

It has never been claimed that nobody will lose out. That was said on 28th October and there have been improvements in pay since then.
SO WHAT. That has nothing to do with this. Even Germany has problems recruiting doctors.
Quote:
Speaking to the BBC the next day, Hunt admitted that some junior doctors would see a pay cut.
“There’s a very small minority of doctors who will be working more than an average of 56 hours, and at the moment they get paid what’s called colloquially in the NHS ‘danger money,’” he said.
“We think that’s wrong. Actually, we shouldn’t be allowing that to happen. It’s not safe for patients, and, frankly, I’m not sure it’s safe for doctors either. But what we are saying is that for the vast majority of doctors who are working within the legal limit there will be no pay cut. We’ll make sure that happens.”

So the ones that might see a pay cut are the ones working unsafe hours, which is something the junior doctors are bleating about. Anyway as they are NOT working within the limits, the statement doesn't apply to them in the first place.
