That is so true, it's crazy isnt it?

And yet again it all comes down to money. I was reading that there is a vacency rate of 5% UK wide and almost 8% in London, and I KNOW my trust has over 20 vacencies but they just are not advertising. This is why midwives are overstreached, students are treated as staff, and stress levels are through the roof.

It's makes me laugh - the government has pledged 4000 extra midwives by 2012 what are they going to do wait till the night before to employ them all?!

Ok polotical rant over....
