Jenny ... Not to long ago I used to work closely with Social Services and Nursing Agencies etc.
While visiting one customer I got chatting with the private nurse she had hired to live in.
Being a bit inquisitive, I suggested it must cost a small fortune to have a nurse living in 24/7 .. the Nurse told me it was £33 per hour from Monday to Friday and extra at the weekend. She also told me that she and two other nurses had shared this particular job for just over a year at that point and it was all funded by the customer !
