A. L. Chapple, West Park Hospital, Epsom, Surrey. Overtime Reconsidered The Royal College of Nursing and National Council of Nurses of the United Kingdom has re-examined its policy towards overtime payments for nurses. A referendum of all its members, except those working overseas, shows a vote of 74% in favour of payment of overtime to staff nurses and ward sisters/charge nurses. The college council has decided that student nurses should not be eligible for overtime payments, but that every effort should be made to exclude them from excess hours of duty. The National Association of State Enrolled Nurses also held a referendum, and its members voted in favour of overtime payments for pupil nurses, enrolled nurses, and senior enrolled nurses. In the light of these votes the college has decided to press for overtime payments for all grades of enrolled nurses, staff nurses, ward and departmental sisters, and charge nurses at the Nurses and Midwives Whitley Council. Fluoride On Jan. 20 Devon County Council turned down a proposal of its health committee to ask water boards to add fluoride to their supplies.
