Seventeen NHS hospitals are among 26 healthcare providers in England failing to operate with safe staffing levels, according to the Care Quality Commission. The health watchdog issued the hospitals with warnings in November, after carrying out inspections. About 16% of hospitals failed to come up to the necessary level. The Sunday Mirror reports that Labour has backed a campaign by the Safe Staffing Alliance, which includes the RCN and Unison calling for a minimum number of nurses in each ward.
