People have been urging the Prime Minister to see if he is going to be providing nurses, along with other NHS staff, with the hope that they are going to address workplace shortages. If you work in a nurse agency or if you work as part of a nursing recruitment agency, then you will know more than anyone how important it is to ensure that funding is given to help support the sector. Of course, NHS bosses and unions have all joined forces in an attempt to lobby the government. They are doing this because they want them to try and commit to a full workforce plan. They are hoping that this is going to help try and stop the current undersupply of nurses in the healthcare sector in general.

A joint letter has been sent out to Boris Johnson and this included the Royal College of Nursing. They have warned that billions and billions of pounds would be required by the end of his reign in parliament. If this is not given then long-standing issues would certainly be present. This is especially the case when you look at the staff and their education in general. Figures show that there is currently a high level of stress as well as a lot of burnout too. This is all related to the coronavirus pandemic. Things are going to worsen even more if the staff shortages are not dealt with as soon as possible. There are some who are deeply concerned that the NHS is not going to survive if these shortages are not dealt with, and it just goes to show how concerning it is that more is not being done by the people who have the ability to make a positive change.
