There are many problems in the health service, yet, health service workers, some of whom have achieved large wage increases in the recent past, should not operate on the assumption that the public and the media will back the blank cheque approach to solving problems within the health service. If it is claimed that the Government is acting contrary to Sustaining Progress, we should have chapter and verse on that. If we are to achieve progress in health, descending into industrial relations chaos is not going to be the way to do it.
