Nurse with wounded air

The plans of George Michael to thank medical staff for the care his mother got by providing free tickets to nurses so they could attend his gigs has run into trouble: Nurses are claiming that the tickets never got out of the offices:

The pop star gave 400 to Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust and 620 to Plymouth Primary Care Trust for his city gig on June 19.

But one nurse said: "Admin snatched hundreds."

The Trusts replied that Michael, who was saying thank-you for the medical care his mum got before her 1997 death, requested the tickets "go to all staff".

Perhaps that's the case. We wonder, though, how many found their way to the cleaners, in that case.
