Appropriate staffing levels are already a core element of the Care Quality Commission\u2019s (CQC\u2019s) registration regime underpinned by legislation. All providers of regulated activities must be registered with the CQC and meet the registration requirements. The 16 safety and quality requirements set out in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 include a requirement for the deployment of sufficient numbers of suitably qualified, competent, skilled and experienced persons.<\/p>
<\/p>
In July 2016, the National Quality Board published Supporting NHS providers to deliver the right staff, with the right skills, in the right place at the right time: Safe, sustainable and productive staffing<\/em>. This safe staffing improvement resource provides an updated set of expectations for nursing and midwifery care staffing, to help National Health Service provider boards make local decisions that will support the delivery of high quality care for patients within the available staffing resource.<\/p> <\/p> A copy of Supporting NHS providers to deliver the right staff, with the right skills, in the right place at the right time: Safe, sustainable and productive staffing<\/em> is attached.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> We now have 13,100 more nurses on our wards than in 2010.<\/p>"}
