THE Welsh government has been urged to take immediate action to address the severe shortage of consultant nurses.
Consultant nurses are highly experienced practitioners who specialise in a specific field, which can range from urgent and emergency care to mental health and learning disabilities.
The Welsh government directly provided initial funding for consultant nurses at the beginning of devolution, but this has long come to an end, with funding now being the responsibility of health boards and trusts.
