Sexy nurses showing too much cleavage in hospitals - 'patients complain'

Nurses and other hospital workers have been told to cover up because patients have complained about them showing too much cleavage.

Bare midriffs, miniskirts and tight-fitting leggings have also been banned by a National Health Service Trust in Hertfordshire and staff will be disciplined if caught flouting the dress code.

But one nurse at an NHS hospital in Welwyn Garden City says the guidelines to staff are an insult: "I’ve seen staff undoing an extra button on a hot day occasionally but it’s hardly Carry On Nurse. That sort of image is really outdated and actually quite insulting."

Help, I've broken my fingernail - woman rushes to hospital accident and emergency unit

A woman went into the accident and emergency unit of a hospital in Kent because she wanted treatment for a broken fingernail.

An NHS spokeswoman said the A&E staff did not admit her and she was "politely sent on her way". Don't think I would have been polite!

The NHS is urging people to think twice before they go to hard-pressed accident units as those with minor ailments could prevent someone getting life-saving treatment.

Not sure if a broken fingernail can even be classed as a "minor ailment".
