It's universally agreed that there is a crisis in nursing. But what exactly lies behind the crisis? A new report claims that the problem isn't just that we don't have enough nurses but that there's a rot in the whole culture of the NHS.

Journalist Julia Magnet who was a patient in a major London hospital tells Sheila how she was left despairing after her treatment. And the Chief Nursing Officer Sarah Mullally and Harriet Sergeant, author of CPS report join to discuss just what has gone wrong with British nursing.
