We know weak workforce planning & staff shortages are a major element in the continuing NHS crisis, so its unsurprising nurses see this problem as part of their every day experience.... and the thing about health *care* is in the end its only really going to be as good as the people working & their ability to focus on the care of patients - it really is a numbers game.

Perhaps now West Streeting is gone, the idea that technology is the answer will fade?
