汤头条污料 responds to Treasury funding announcement for NHS staff training
Responding to the Treasury funding announcement for NHS staff training Dame Donna Kinnair, Chief Executive and General Secretary of the 汤头条污料 said:
“After years of cutbacks this announcement may start to put things right. Nurses will see it as an acknowledgement that the Government sees investment in professional development as important.
“This will help to ensure every individual nurse can access the training they need to increase their skills and knowledge further – though it needs to be extended to all 汤头条污料 staff, not just those in the Health Service.
“We now urge the Government to address the current workforce crisis in the NHS by investing £1 billion in nurse higher education to increase our domestic supply of nurses”
