LITTLE more than half of NHS workers in the Lothians believe the care of patients is their employer?s main concern, the results of a major staff *survey have revealed.
While senior NHS Lothian bosses regularly say patient care and safety is the health board?s ?number one priority?, a poll of staff has revealed that just 51 per cent of employees believe the statement to be true ? down from 64 per cent in the previous probe in 2010.
It also emerged that less than half of NHS Lothian workers would recommend the board as a good place to work, while fewer than three in ten believe there are enough staff to allow them to do their jobs properly.
