Corner readers will know the peerless Melanie Phillips primarily as the author of Londonistan. She is, however, also a fearless commentator on many of the other disastrous choices of western governments. At her new blog for The Spectator, she discusses, via examples from her readers, the role of the demoralization of the nursing profession in the collapse of British socialized healthcare. As someone who grew up with grandmother and great aunt as senior nurses, this strikes a resonant chord with me.
