Specialist nurses have been presented as a solution to huge variations in the quality of some NHS care by a new Department of Health publication.
The second NHS Atlas of Variation was published today by the DH. It shows large differences between primary care trust areas on 71 indicators of quality and health outcomes. It is intended to highlight where money is being wasted as well as poor care.
The report also suggests how poor performers can improve.
Details seen by Nursing Times show a number of key improvements require more use of specialist nurses.
