But so what?

"John Reid, the Health Secretary, said he was delighted with the growth, but added that he was aware that more action was needed to tackle existing staff shortages.

“The NHS has more doctors, nurses, scientists and therapists than ever before — as we promised in the NHS plan,” he said. “Despite the record increases in numbers of doctors and nurses this year, I know the NHS still struggles with shortages in some specialties and we all have a lot more to do. I can’t create skilled medical professionals overnight but the Government is putting in place the training places needed for the future.”
