I believe that everyone working in the public sector deserves to be paid well. I think the attitude of some on the right that those engaged in public services should be paid less than those in the private sector is totally wrong. At the same time I think that if you are employed in public service than your commitment should be total and you should be engaged in your job full time.
There are many in the public services like doctors, Members of Parliament and those in management who get a full time salary often a very good full time salary but do not give a full time commitment. I think its wrong that a doctor is paid over one hundred thousand pounds in some cases but spends only about a third of the time he spends on his private practice working for the NHS. I think its wrong that some managers get upwards of eighty thousand ponds a year for working the eqvalient of about three months a year.I think its wrong that Members of Parliament are often absent from the House of Commons because of board meetings of the companies they are directors of.
The right talk about value for money well lets have that by outlawing outside work for those employed by the taxpayer. Lets have total commitment for a fair salary not half hearted commitment by everyone and stop people treating the taxpayer who funds there salaries as nothing more than cash cows!!!
