Hospitals are having to cancel operations and cancer scans are going unread for weeks because consultant doctors have suddenly begun working to rule in a standoff over NHS pensions.

Who would volunteer to do extra shifts if it's going to cost them money? Insane. It's not 'working to rule' though, just choosing not to undertake extra work
And they want to bring single payer to the US? No way!
Some bad results are due to good intentions. 1. NHS Pensions are increased to reduce doctors earning from extra shifts. 2. Care Quality Commission closed many hospital services & GP practices. 3. Annual Appraisals and 5 yearly Revalidation made many doctors to leave. Money saved.
What a stupid idea to mess with people’s pensions like this - law of unintended consequences. The ludicrous tax needs to be amended ASAP, before the doctors flee to the US
Your title is utter bllsht. Doctors penalised by unfair tax.

Operation wait times soar as NHS doctors turn down extra shifts over pension tax changesOne NHS trust says its waiting list for operations has doubled over three months because consultants are not accepting extra work.

NHS operations cancelled in standoff with consultantsDoctors warn health services in danger of meltdown and facing ‘existential threat’ This is a prime example of taxing people to death Conservative government at it again. Life has no value, only money. I fear the consultants will get a bashing tomorrow in the media. Root cause is pension changes in 2016 article eludes but not explained probably cause its technical and hard. Also 'can't afford to' unfair as more realistically they're just losing money to take the extra lists.

NHS waiting lists soaring as consultants refuse to work overtimeWaiting lists have soared by 50 per cent in three months in some parts of the country because doctors are refusing to work, in order to protect their pensions, senior managers say. Because if they do too many hours the pension tax rules present them with a tax bill for tens of thousands of pounds. Nobody works extra hours to be paid much much less . More torygraph propaganda. Shouldn't it read NHS waiting lists soar, due to consultants doing exactly what the Tories/DUP want them to do. And work for the ultra rich private health firms ?
