""Dame Donna Kinnair, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing, said: “I agree with the former health secretary that the country needs a long-term plan to deal with the chronic shortage of nursing staff. Successive secretaries of state have ducked this issue but the pandemic means the fragility of the nursing workforce is now an inescapable reality.”"
Back in the 1950's and 1960's the UK used to be able to train enough Doctors and Nurses because school leavers were encouraged to go to University and learn useful things so as to go to learn to be Doctors, Dentists and Nurses.
Somebody had the bright idea to stop producing home-grown Doctors and Nurses and import them from Third world countries, this was called ,"Harvesting", of course NOBODY gave a bugger about these impoverished Third world Countries losing the Doctors and Nurses they so laboriously trained which is why now there are MORE MALIAN DOCTORS IN LONDON THAN THERE ARE IN ALL OF MALI !!!
This is No joke, the policies of successive UK Governments made sure that folk in third world countries perished because they had too few Doctors.
The Useless schools in the UK also contributed to lack of qualified staff and my family saw this at first hand as a neice was consideredto be rather dumb at the sec modern Comprehensive she attended, my Sister would have none of this so took the lass out and put her in a Private School where she thrived, was found to be brilliant and had an IQ of 160 (which is more than I have !!), she is now a Specialist in A and E in a UK Hospital also a Captain in the British Army specializing in Battlefield wounds etc.
The UK has massive potential but the UK school system is rather poor, this has to change, we have enough talented children but they are not spotted and utilized properly.!
