Better prospects elsewhere for young people and the EU nurses are going to more welcoming countries who appreciate and pay them more.
Non graduate nurses could be employed at a lower pay grade, avoiding the more testing duties that you speak of. This would relieve tne graduate nurses of some of their workload so they could spend more time carrying out higher level work.
