MAY I, through the courtesy of your columns, refute the suggestion that the 'Campaign to Support British Nurses' is in any way xenophobic. Quite the reverse; we are working to achieve a situation where any foreign nurse entering this country will be a wanted nurse because he or she will be filling a genuine job vacancy.
