I’ve always been an advocate of tight fiscal policy and understand that governments cannot write blank cheques for public sector pay increases.
But I think that the government is making a huge political fuck-up with NHS pay rises at the moment. £200k for an extra 1% pay rise for nurses might sound a lot - but it pales in to insignificance when you consider the £32bn wasted on track and trace.
I work on some big projects for some huge companies but I couldn’t even fathom spending £32bn. How does a government even spend that much dosh on a track and trace system?
