NURSING leaders have written to new First Minister Vaughan Gething demanding urgent action to protect patients and secure the future of nursing in Wales.

The Royal College of Nursing’s letter has called for immediate action in three key areas to deliver on promises in the Welsh government’s 2023-24 pay offer and prioritise patient safety by ensuring there are enough nursing staff. 

The nursing union also says his government must strategically invest in nurses’ education at all career stages to meet future healthcare demands.
