Letter: Recruiting 60 nurses from Botswana for Essex hospitals 'utter disgrace' (Image: PA)
SO we’re off out stealing staff that are needed in their own country again are we? (Gazette, June 13, “66 nurses recruited from Botswana).
This is not a good news story - it’s an utter disgrace.
Instead of training our own people to do the work that’s needed, we rob poor countries of their talent.
Only a hypocrite could see that as a positive story.
