You state 'nursing staff' on ward B8...how many of them were qualified nurses and how many were auxiliary/ancillary staff? Which of these spent the most time looking after your personal needs?

Your observation about me needing hospital treatment recently is incorrect. On top of which I have spent quite some time in various hospitals in East Lancashire over the past few years. And guess what...the non-nurses usually turn out to be more considerate, more caring and better at the job.
There were usually two Auxiliary nurses on duty during the day that did the jobs they have always done making beds, bed pans, making brews, giving meals out at, the other 5 or 6 nurses did the medical tasks, I certainly didn't have any problems what so ever, except for one day when there was a miner glitch with medication
