LETTER:Healthy salaries at the NHS
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Ms June Poston and Mr Graeme Poston
Sir: Roy Lilley (Another View: "Nursing the sick - and grudges", 2 February), invites many questions and much argument. The most fundamental question has to be, if, as Mr Lilley reports, the hospital boss's salary is a mere pounds 65,000 in the NHS and his or her salary would be more like pounds 120,000 in the private sector, why, then, is he or she not working in the private sector?
Yours faithfully,
June Poston
