IT is all very well to suggest that the amount of nurses working at any moment on a given ward be made public, but this information is pretty useless without reference to their quality or the widely varying requirements of different groups of patients.
Besides, however important, this profession is simply part of a far more complex set-up in the context of the hospital.
