Filipino Hospitals!!!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Bill &#064; Jun 3 2006, 12&#58;23 PM) Quoted post</div><div class='quotemain'> We need them because of a shortage of skilled and competent staff. Maybe in a few years the situation will be radically different with influxes of EU nurses and the Filipinos will be shafted and &#39;encouraged&#39; to leave like a lot of foreign doctors have been lately. Could be difficult as a few of them have mortgages, families w/children and settled lives here.

There is no shortage of nurses in the UK nowadays. There IS a shortage of money to pay them though. In the Midlands they have recently laid off hundreds, maybe thousands, and other medical personnel too, because they can&#39;t afford to retain enough staff to provide full patient cover.

Why they needed them all six months ago but can do without them now is beyond me [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]
