I think you will find that there are more nurses studying now than when there were bursaries. This is a complete red herring.

If they allowed non graduates to come in as nurses, you would solve the problem quite quickly. Graduate nurses turn their noses up at carrying out some of the dirty jobs long associated with nursing.

The answers are there if you look for them. Unfortunately, rather than do the job properly, too many politicians think that all they have to do is throw money at it and it will go away.

Guess what? It doesn't.

I wasn't talking about NHS employees specifically. I was drawing attention to the fact that in other industries, you have to pay for your own training. Why should NHS staff be any different?
