THE government was urged to axe “bullying” NHS reforms after a study found thousands of patients are dying due to high staff turnover.
Researchers warned a “conservative” estimate of more than 4,000 patients in England die every year due the loss of nurses and doctors in the health service.
The study from the University of Surrey and Cambridge University Hospitals Foundation Trust was published in the prestigious British Medical Journal yesterday.
