It is time to reinstate nurse

29 August 2009

In light of the recent findings about nursing neglect of older patients, is it not time that Margaret Hayward was reinstated?

She was the undercover nurse whose brave television documentary in 2005 sparked this whole thing off.

And what did she get for her efforts? She was struck off.

And yet, as it turns out, she was only speaking the truth.

Still, I suppose firing someone for being so honest shouldn't come as any great surprise, considering the Government

we're presently lumbered with.
