Unfortunately the article didn't really give the qualifications of the non-nurse consultants. It was only concerned that they weren't nurses. It didn't specify any other credential for the nurse consultants, either.
Of course it is terrible that the hospital is cutting lactation staff, no matter the exact letters after the names.
