In order to help patients and staff differentiate between the different nursing roles, nurses across Wales were issued with a new range of colour-coded uniforms. The uniforms were also designed to improve uniformity amongst the staff across the country. Staff nurses are assigned with hospital blue uniforms and staff midwives are dressed in postman blue. Healthcare support workers uniforms are green and aqua green will indicate a nursery nurse. Rosemary Kennedy, Wales' chief nursing officer said: "It is essential that patients have confidence in the nursing profession. The national uniforms will help to remove any confusion over who is in charge."
Urgent tests have been ordered on the fabrics used in the garments after the 'scrubs' style uniforms, which cost nearly 1.5m, were reported to be causing major skin irritation for a huge number of nurses. The Welsh Assembly said the problems were a "disappointing" blow as the uniforms, made from 67 per cent polyester and 33 per cent cotton, had already undergone thorough testing before being issued.
Dermatology experts advised many of the nurses to return to their original uniforms to avoid excessive itching and rashes. Although the uniforms were scheduled to be provided to all of Wales' 36,000 nurses and midwives, the plan was brought to a standstill after the problem emerged.
Rosemary Kennedy, Wales's chief nursing officer, said "Extensive wearer trials were also undertaken and no skin irritation was reported. Robust testing of the fabric is currently being undertaken by an independent body to establish the exact nature of the problem and, through our contractual arrangements, we expect the manufacturers to put this right."
The assembly government highlighted that the wellbeing of their staff was "paramount" and was taking the concerns extremely seriously despite the number of nurses who have reported skin irritation being "a minority". They admitted that only a minority of staff had reported a problem so they had sufficient supplies of alternative uniforms to use.

School Uniform is one thing which can not be forgotten. We have a relation with it for over a decade. It teaches the students how to identify themselves among a group of similarly dressed children.
Among the children, there is an affinity for social groups. They become a part of gangs existing in schools. With time, they develop their own dressing styles and do so to associate themselves with a gang. Such gangs promote violence and spoil the school atmosphere.
Students often have different cultural backgrounds. A uniform helps remove all the socio-economic and cultural barriers among the children. It is important to make them all feel a part of the same society.
Students can feel proud of their school. Uniforms play the most important role in getting them to do so. They start identifying themselves as a part of their school. Gradually they learn to have a sense of pride.
A sense of uniqueness is not created by one's clothes. There are things more important than fashion. The school environment can be saved only with uniforms. Designer clothes do not provide any benefit to children but create greater disparities between richer and poorer children.
If there were no uniforms, there would be kids more interested in clothes than studies. The authorities do not want children to concentrate on their appearance more than on studies. Their attention will be diverted elsewhere and the concentration on studies will be reduced.
It is also important for the children not to be overly revealing. They should help build a school spirit. A uniform also helps reduce fighting and tension problems. Some children can not afford expensive and name brand dresses.
Also there are other conservative social groups which are against the withdrawal of uniforms in schools. They stress that children should learn to become disciplined and they can not learn it by affiliating themselves to various gangs at educational institutions.
