Royal College Of Nursing Deficits Campaign
EDM number 2044 in 2005-06, proposed by Mike Penning on 26/04/2006.
That this House welcomes the Royal College of Nursing's Keep Nurses Working, Keep Patients Safe campaign on deficits which will culminate with a rally and lobby in Parliament on 11th May 2006; notes with growing concern the impact of deficits on patient care and nursing posts, with NHS trusts freezing posts, delaying treatment and issuing compulsory redundancies to nurses and other healthcare staff to tackle deficits or balance books; and calls on the Government to take urgent action to prevent long-term damage to patient care through the effects of short-term cuts by implementing a deficits recovery plan.
This motion has been signed by a total of 102 MPs.
