Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Every graduate nurse this year would not be in want of an offer of employment from us. That is the case and remains the case. The only way we can encourage them is, when they start their final, pre-registration year on the floor, I would like to see us get to a place in the next year or two that when they start that, their actual contract of employment is dealt with then. It might help secure them. However, the workforce is now very global. I hear it said they are leaving because the health service here is dreadful. Young people travel because young people want to travel, let us be clear about it, and a lot of them go and come back, thankfully.
