You might as well say "The reality is that no doubt BSc (Med) are harder to get but after a certain level, what you learned as A Doctor (CA)/Nurse(CMA)/Orderly(CGA) ceased mattering."
I guess our approach is, if we ignore the problem, it may go away.
However, we are having difficulty attracting new students, our share of the good jobs is declining, our grip is loosening with the adoption of IFRS and other bodies getting access to public practice. I think we have rested on our laurels too long, taking false pride that we are "doctors" and others are "nurses and orderlies". I think something needs to be done. Not sure if the answer is a merger or something else.
