Every hospital ward in England must abide by a new minimum ?safe staffing level?, campaigners have urged, on the eve of a major report into patient safety.
Minimum safe staffing levels were recommended six months ago by Robert Francis in his review of catastrophic care failings at the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust, which led to the needless deaths of up 1,200 patients. But the Government is yet to introduce a national standard for nurse to patient ratios, despite constant warnings from medical professionals.
