Nurse numbers rise 'eclipsed by jump in patients' The rise in hospital nurses in England has been dwarfed by a jump in patients, a study suggests.
The Royal College of Nursing research points to data showing the nurse workforce has increased by 4.6% in five years.
But hospital admissions have jumped by 12.3% - nearly three times the rate.
The union says this shows more needs to be done to ensure safe staffing, but the government says the rising NHS budget will ensure high-quality care. BBC News
