What a disgusting waste!' Outrage as NHS hires £70K diversity chief - 'Get more nurses!'

NEWS that an NHS trust is offering to pay more than £70,000 for a diversity chief has sparked outrage

King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London is currently recruiting a head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Based at its hospital in Denmark Hill, the successful applicant will be paid between £61,861 and £70,959 annually - nearly three times what a newly qualified nurse takes home.
Many anti-woke campaigners slammed the news - and said the cash-strapped NHS should spend money on people who physically help patients.
Free speech advocate Toby Young raged: “Next time someone complains that the NHS isn’t being given enough money by the UK taxpayer, send them this.”

GB News host Calvin Robinson said: “The NHS isn’t underfunded, it’s full of waste and bloat.

“Cut the number of managers and bureaucrats and go back to basics with ward matrons.

Ditch the silly equality, diversity and inclusion roles and focus on meritocracy.
Make efficiencies before asking for more taxpayer funds.”

Fellow presenter Mercy Muroki was equally scathing.

Writing on the recently launched news channel’s website, she said: “Look, I’m a pro-opportunity, pro-meritocracy, pro-representation kind of girl – I want to see people of different ethnicities, and from working class backgrounds being included as much as possible in the workforce.
But do we really have to artificially engineer every aspect of it?

“Do we really need to oversaturate every industry with diversity and inclusion roles across every pay band?”

Meanwhile Brexiteer Darren Grimes wrote: “What a disgusting waste of taxpayer cash by the NHS.

“I mean honestly, people are so fed up with this identity-based bo****ks.

When a patient is in A&E the last thing they’re concerning themselves over is how diverse the staff administering care are.”

The job advert, posted on the NHS’s recruitment website, branded it an “exciting opportunity” to “drive forward” the trust’s equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

It added: “The main focus of the role is to lead on the development and implementation of our equality and diversity strategy, working in partnership with our clinical and operational leaders to improve the health equality outcomes for the local community and supporting equality outcomes within the trust’s workforce.

“The post holder also holds responsibility and accountability for supporting in the provision of effective and inclusive leadership, co-ordination and management of the EDI function.”
