Recent figures released by the Royal College of Nursing have estimated 13,000 nursing jobs could be lost as Primary Care Trusts and hospital executives seek to reduce the deficits. We say you cannot balance the books by risking patient’s lives!

Too many NHS staff are of poor quality, especially the junior admin staff and the nursing assistants. Sack the lot of them and employ fewer competent people on higher wages. The NHS seems to go for too many cheap, low quality staff and chaos and confusion is the result.
