The importance of the Care Standards Bill, this year's pay award and support for the pioneering spirit in nursing
Care Standards Bill could polarise care This is my first opportunity to wish you well for the year and congratulate you on your sheer hard work and commitment over what has been a fraught few weeks. Many nurses have worked extra hours and coped with an even heavier workload than usual to keep the health service going. The river of fire on the Thames may have proved the damp squib of the millennium celebrations, but the year 2000 certainly started with a bang - and a few fireworks - for the NHS.
Nursing Standard.
