Subnormality nursing has never been a wildly attractive job; overcrowding, working in its insidious way, coupled with large wards, are potent deterrents to work satisfaction. The third basic problem, which is linked with the previous two, is staff shortage and staff recruitment.

Nurse recruitment in many areas is dependent to a greater or lesser degree on applicants from overseas, without whom I believe the service in these areas at the present time would succumb.
