You misunderstand me, Jim. What I meant was why is all the news about the nurses being affected, when - as Kampervan correctly informed me - it applies to lots of others as well. That is not to distract from nurses in any way. I am concerned that we could get into a position of saying the nurses are a special case and should be excluded from this policy, but it's ok to throw out - for example - an American friend of mine who has worked as a postman for years. The whole thing is a bad policy and should be challenged as such, not by saying we can tolerate it being slightly less bad if certain groups are excluded.
