NHS

Today is about nursing, why does a ward sister have to have a degree??, not only that they will need a masters soon, what has all this to do with nursing sick people, most of the training is at university consequently they are unused to wards, and from what I have seen many younger nurses seem to think that the word CARE does not apply to them, any contact with patients can be left to health care assistants, many of these have no training and many can't even speak English, so how as an elderly patient do you survive?, you have to rely on your family to ensure your well being,atending at meal times to ensure you are fed, make sure you are clean and ensure you get the relevant treatment to your illness, if you have no family you are in trouble. Government can say that they put  vast amounts of money in to health care but just where does it go??, each department has a matron, each ward has a bed manager, a ward hostess just what is all this about?, the changes that this white paper has actioned is a nightmare, it is it  is said that it will give patients more power!, I don't think so, commissioning of health services is a very technical job, not the line of work that GP's are involved in, so what happens if your local hospital looses a lot of its work because your local GP's commission it at another hospital, your hospital CLOSURE, Beware.
