Personally, I think it's wrong that we are overworking such crucial members of our society. Whats the answer? Replace all our nurses with foreign agency workers who won't complain?
I know there is sever mismanagement of funds within the NHS, and we may not even see it fixed within our lifetimes, so what is a short term solution. I doubt it's just putting more money into it is it?

Yeah, seems to be it. Maybe fixing the social care problem (one of the nurses talked about bed blocking) is a better option.
Also, why is private healthcare taxed as a BIK? surely if someone takes themself out of the NHS system (for the most part) they shouldnt be penalised for it further.

There are thousands of European doctors and nurses working in the NHS
A third of doctors and 21% of nurses born abroadhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/12071030/Mo...
That probably doesn't count doctors born in the UK to immigrant parents, so the ratio is bound to be much higher.
