Midwives tell Sajid Javid to 'stem the tide' of those leaving NHS with patient safety at risk The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) has called on the Government to urgently invest in maternity services to stem the tide of staff leaving the NHS.
Despite promises to increase the workforce the number of midwives has actually fallen to 26,901, according to most recent NHS England figures, down from 27,272 a year ago. The RCM said it was concerned at the drop, which adds to the existing shortage of more than 2,000 staff. iNews
