Labour’s pledge to put No 10’s planned 1 per cent pay rise for nurses at the heart of its local election campaign could mean that one well-heeled minister’s nonchalant dismissal of the nurses’ case will come back to haunt the Government.
‘There are many people in this country who look upon professional jobs in the NHS with some envy,’ Health Minister Lord Bethell said last week.
‘Nurses are well paid for the job. They have a secure job and they have other benefits.’
Is Bethell, a hereditary peer, the right man to talk about nurses’ pay? He lives with his venture capitalist wife Melissa Wong in a four-storey house in Notting Hill, which cost £6.3 million in 2011, but has since doubled in value. What’s more, they have a swish holiday home in Majorca.
Q. As a child growing up in Newcastle, Co Down, you were told you were adopted. Was that traumatic?
A. My mother told me, but I can’t remember what age I was when she did so. But she did do it in the only way to do these things, which was to wait until I was old enough to have some cognisance of what she was saying. Of course, I didn’t understand it completely but it was very beautifully put: We chose you. She said all the right sort of things. Just a few months later a friend of my sister came out with: Oh, you’re adopted. I think if I hadn’t been told previously by my mother and I’d had to question it then I think I would have found that very, very difficult. There’s nothing to be gained by keeping any of these things in, it’s better for people just to be honest.
