4 million working for the NHS

Don't forget to clap @8 to feel good about yourselves.

That dodgy guy Hamza hasn't clapped once apparently, just shows he hates our country.

Shame he doesn't clap his head

5th biggest employer in world after 1 US Department of Defence
                                    2 Chinese Peoples Liberation Army
                                    3 Walmart
                                    4 McDonald

and this is where I show my centrist credentials because it should be reformed (not defunded) we should go to school on what works in Germany & some other places (not America)

I think the Figure is Nearer 1 million , so where the SUN is getting 4 from is anyones guess

outsourced cleaning,catering,engineering etc contractors I would believe

The National Health Service (NHS) is one of the largest employers in the world, and is the biggest in Europe, with over 1.3 million staff.

Might be a couple hundred thousand More Cant see how it reaches 4 million

A lot of people who do the actual treatment aren't NHS employees. GPs aren't employed by the NHS, for instance. Nor are agency nurses. And then there's my mate's wife, who is a self-employed psychiatrist and does a couple of days of NHS work a week.

What some of the 1.3 million people who actually ARE employed by the NHS are doing is a bit of a mystery.

"I think the Figure is Nearer 1 million , so where the SUN is getting 4 from is anyones guess"

tbf within a multiple of 3 is close for The Sun

Maybe there are 2.7 million people who do work FOR the NHS, in addition to the 1.3 million actually employed by it. That wouldn't surprise me at all.

Cannot be 4 million People Being paid to work for the NHS , no wonder there is always a shortage of funds
