Safe staffing levels
From April 2014 all hospitals are required to publish information about the number of nursing and midwifery staff working on each ward, together with the percentage of shifts meeting safe staffing guidelines.
This is part of the NHS response to the Francis report which called for greater openness and transparency in the health service.
Publishing schedule 2014/15 (pdf)
Information about staffing levels is published monthly.
