FAO GORDON. please read and then self destruct this message.... 
Gordon,
Good afternoon I hope you don't think I'm being cheeky but can I correct something?
your post advises writing to the RCN (royal college of nursing).
The RCN is a union
The register is N.M.C nursing and midwifery council.
you could also add that the nurse might not be showing up because they have recently changed name, there could be an error on the spelling of the name, or the HCP has been titled as a nurse when in fact they are another health care professional and on a different register.
having said that, if someones sure they are a nurse, I would definitely get onto the NMC.

The DWP take the stance that all assessors have been specially trained to undertake this work, therefore it does not matter what their background is.
Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
