LETTER:Healthy salaries at the NHS

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

Clinical Nurse

Graeme Poston

Consultant Surgical Oncologist
