Article Abstract:
One third of all NHS trusts are under financial mismanagement, with a total NHS overspend of pounds sterling 750m. The NHS is caring for more people than ever before, and offering some of the most advanced, innovative and specialized treatments in the world and if the government decides to remove nurses then the treatment would surely suffer and removing them is only a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
