[Margaret Pilkington]

The NHS is guilty by association.
Most people go to be a nurse because they want to help people. They don't do it because wages are good, or the working conditions are great.....because they aren't.
I can identify with what you say, from my own working days, but have seen recently that there are less available resources than there were when I was working(and it was tough back then).
There are too many expensive administrators. Their wages would pay for more hands on carers, and That is really what is needed, well that and a healthier attitude to whistleblowers.
