Press Release
NHS waiting list growing four times faster than the nurse workforce
ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Director for England, Patricia Marquis, said: “Not a single nurse will say that it feels like there are more staff now – they say the very opposite. When patient numbers and demand is so high, staffing levels become dangerously inadequate. It is unsafe for patients and professionals alike when one nurse cares for 10, 15 or more patients at a time and beds are put in corridors or other inappropriate places."

ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ responds to appointment of Victoria Atkins as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Chief Nurse Professor Nicola Ranger said: “Victoria Atkins' first priority must be to get the NHS the extra funding it needs in next week’s autumn statement. The current financial settlement is penalising patients - those on waiting lists are being told to wait even longer in a cash-strapped NHS. She can begin to address that."
