Although I think it will take a while, when we do get back to running normally, I envisage there being ‘incentive’ operating lists running.
These are done at the weekend when we normally only cover emergencies.
They are paid at a slightly higher rate as an incentive to staff to work on their weekends off to clear the backlog.
Personally I don’t do them as I struggle to cope with full time hours at my age now, and the ‘incentive’ is a paltry amount, but there are always staff willing to work these.
I suspect clinics, scans etc will do the same so hopefully everyone waiting will get done as soon as possible
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
