""DAVID Cameron has broken a promise to boost the numbers of health visitors working in the NHS, with levels now at a record low.""

Are you suggesting that Cameron is God, and can just produce Health Visitors with a snap of the fingers.

My daughter who is already a grade E nurse (pre nursing 2000), and is currently doing a degree course to become a Health Visitor.

There has been a desperate shortage for years, and it's a bit inane to believe that anybody has broken a promise because it hasn't been filled in just 17 months.

Doubly stupid to blame the new government for the current campaign of disruptive and destructive actions being carried out by Administrators in both the NHS and in local councils, even Tory led ones like KCC, who took on a number of senior staff on a temporary basis at astronomical salaries simply to operate as hatchet men in getting rid of more junior staff.

Half a dozen of them will walk out very shortly with six figure handshakes, while the rest of what staff remain have their pay frozen.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE! Nor is it confined to Tory organisations.
