Health Service: Statements.
I heard talk that some of the unions are looking for a 35 hour week. In an ideal world all of us would like a 35 hour week. France has adopted a 35 hour week but has had a great deal of difficulty with it. Most of those involved in the public sector do not work a 35 hour week and I am not certain that is the most pressing priority in the health service, notwithstanding the magnificent work done by doctors, nurses and others.
