They all promise more nurses for the NHS, what about allied health professionals? Im a final year occupational therapy student, graduating to no job vacancies even though every department in every health trust is short staffed. This has been happening for years however the university I attend is still taking in 70+ students per year. More vacancies need filled therefore more funding is needed and the student enrollement numbers need reduced until the need for graduates increases. Stop paying for patients to go private for treatment so that targets are met and hire more staff! It needs sorted out.
