Stop decreasing the supply of nurses

Reintroduce the bursury.
The Government has removed funding for student nurses. This is having a dramatic effect on the future supply of nurses.

Why is this important?

The NHS depends on nurses. Less people training to become nurses = less nurses. (The removal of bursary funding for nursing courses has resulted in a steep drop in people taking the course)

'University applications have fallen by 5% - with the decline driven by a drop in European Union students and a sharp fall in nursing applications.' BBC news 2nd February 2017

The government needs to stop attacking the NHS and start supporting it.
