Margaret Haywood, 58, filmed at the Royal Sussex Hospital in Brighton for a BBC Panorama programme in July 2005. The Nursing and Midwifery Council said she did not fulfil her nursing obligations and struck her off. Ms Haywood, a nurse for more than 20 years, has 28 days to take an appeal against the decision to the High Court. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/8005295.stm Brian(i)

	I hope she gets the chance to appeal against the decision and is then allowed to continue nursing, it is time people stood up for the underdogs and elderly, infirm and children and shopped poor workers. Too many people doing a job and not putting the right effort or attitude in, they are just there for the money. Lizx
