title: Money matters.
abstract: Why is money always the topic of conversation whenever the plight of nurses is discussed? Some news articles make nurses out to be money-grabbing individuals with no sense of loyalty or sensitivity. The Government is no better, Tony Newton, on Newsnight recently, directed his speech only on the statutory pay review body when commenting on the forthcoming strike. In the eyes of many nurses the crisis in the National Health Service concerns not only pay, but predominantly the standard of care that they are able to provide. Nurses are leaving in droves because they are unable to provide adequate and acceptable levels of basic nursing care.
