So, once again I am expected to work for another year within the NHS and further subsidise this government's coffers. Yet again I am told that the OFRC fought hard for a fair increase and achieved nothing. When will we wake up and accept that the Department of Health has always seen us as a soft touch?

I keep reading that we are creating good relationships with the government and that we are making progress on matters like fees. For goodness sake, it is clear that, as ever, we are just being laughed at by the Department. I wonder if, when our negotiators leave the room, anyone stays by the door and listens to the hysterical laughter that must break out in the room after they have gone?
