The third charge, which was much the minor charge, was that there had been some rudeness to a senior nursing officer.
In my view, and that of many others, the nurses and the senior nursing officer have had a raw deal.
A senior medical officer, a deputy senior medical officer, a senior nursing officer and an assistant nursing officer had also been employed.
That is far more than a senior nursing officer, two grades senior to that sister, can ever earn under the present salary system.
The senior nursing officer decided to take early retirement.
That member of the senior hospital staff should be on a par with the consultant, the surgeon and the senior nursing officer.
There is a difference of £800 a year in the salaries of a senior nursing officer and a librarian who went to the same school and had the same education.
The sister earns £1,568 more than the senior nursing officer's maximum basic salary.
