Royal College of Nursing responds to Department of Health and Social Care statement on 50,000 extra nurses in the NHS

Royal College of Nursing Chief Nurse Professor Nicola Ranger said: “Nursing staff will reject government claims that it is ‘mission accomplished’ on nurse recruitment - this political target had no basis in the reality of demands on health care. There are still tens of thousands of nursing vacancies in the NHS."

Royal College of Nursing Chief Nurse Professor Nicola Ranger said: “The headline findings of this report don’t reflect what nurses are seeing on the NHS frontline. Since 2019, the NHS waiting list has grown four times faster than the nurse workforce, meaning there aren’t enough staff to provide the outstanding care patients deserve."

Professor Nicola Ranger, RCN Chief Nursing Officer and Deputy Chief Executive said: “Patients are already able to request intimate care from a staff member of the same sex, but in an NHS missing tens of thousands of nursing staff it is nigh-on impossible to accommodate with any consistency. It’s also important to recognise that nursing staff treat all patients with the utmost respect and professionalism, no matter their gender."
