SO much is said these days regarding the shortage of nurses in our hospitals.

The powers that be do little to encourage recruitment, nurses at Heath Hospital have to pay for car parking amongst other things.

Why should NHS staff have to pay for car parking, the officers at Barry Civic Centre have a guard in a little box guarding their cars, do they pay? No wonder Council Tax is rising by 10 percent.
