Lets not talk about the lack of breast feeding support across the NHS in violation of their own and WHO policies. Nor about the money-saving benefits that healthier breast-fed babies bring to the NHS by being ill less.

What the hell do we need breast-feeding coordinators for? Does the government really believe it needs to advise mothers how to feed their freaking children?

How on earth did we manage for the few tens of thousands of years without them?

Simple - we breast fed our children or they died. Then we invented formula and marketing. BTW this isn't a breast vs bottle debate - there are no absolutes. But most NHS Trusts have stated policies supporting breast feeding because of the proven health benefits (which save money) and also have a lack of resources to deliver said policies.

Mind you, £40k sounds like a lot of money......

When I mentioned it at the time, another poster found the exact ads.

Here we go . . read the job specification. This is a current ad. I'll look forward to your apology.

. . . primarily responsible for promoting breastfeeding in local communities.

A real good way to spend up to 46k a year, of course.

Of course, you are the only person who does anything of value.

You really are a sad, pathetic little man.

Hang on, this is nothing to do with a London council. Its a hospital job for a grade 7 midwife in London. Looks entirely reasonable to me. No apology needed I think..

here it is, true to form when the lefty is proved wrong they resort to name calling.

that is the lefty way.

hateful dirty spiteful people most of them.

46k on breast feeding co ordinator is obscene. this"job" should not exist, and if it really must, isn't 20k sufficient????

also, value has little to do with it. if a private company makes profit, it can pay its staff whatever it wants. if it loses money, the staff get noting.

the public sector is just a parasite on the private sector's back. obvioulsy there needs to be a small public sector but what we currently have is an obscene self absorbed tumour that needs destroying.

how can the public sector, which makes and creates nothing in terms of profit give out bonuses???? bonuses are payments from profits that companies decide to pay to their employees, instead of giving the sums to their shareholders.

bonuses in the public sector are a joke!!!
