When doctors were pale, male, and stale, nobody had a problem with them being some of the highest-paid in society.

Could it be that some people (Tories) just cannot stand brown or female people being paid more than themselves, regardless of the doctor's worth to society?

In 2014, Hunt rejected the independent Pay Review Body that suggested a *mere* 1% increase in doctors' and dentists' salaries.
