Juliet's Story
from Blocked Britain · host Blocked Britain
Juliet, 31, from North West Hampshire in the South East, wanted to train as a nurse but found herself blocked by Westminster's approach to NHS workforce planning. Despite clear demand for healthcare workers and people ready to train, HM Treasury's spending limits on Health Education England meant training places remained artificially scarce. This episode explores how central government treats public investment in healthcare training as a cost to minimise, rather than recognising that the government which issues the pound cannot run out of pounds. Juliet's story reveals the human cost when political choices create artificial scarcity in one of our most essential public services. Blocked Britain contains strong language and adult themes.
