…there—notwithstanding the fact things have gone wrong. But it isn't just nursing; and I think while nurses haven't got a monopoly on caring, nursing is always seen at the centre of everything—when it's good, when it's bad and the like. For recruitment, we're quite lucky, I think. Our staff tend to…

…to implement the Act and now in an executive role. What we need to do is broaden out beyond nursing and nurses play a pivotal role, and always will play a pivotal role in the care for patients. But it's not only about nursing, and therefore the Act narrows that focus. Although, 25A does give us an…

Deddf Lefelau Staff Nyrsio (Cymru) 2016: craffu ar ôl deddfu: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda chyfarwyddwyr nyrsio

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Mi fyddaf i'n siarad yn Gymraeg yn sydyn. Jest ar y pwynt yna, yn dilyn fyny ar yr hyn yr oedd Sarah yn ei ddweud—rydych chi'n dweud mai un o'r heriau mwyaf ydi recriwtio a chadw staff. Felly, ydych chi'n meddwl bod yna bwynt i'r ddeddfwriaeth hon, i'r Ddeddf yma os nad ydyn ni'n…

…who do work flexibly, but that meets their need. But, actually, you know, how do we encourage the good agency staff to come back? How do we support those staff to work in our systems again? And how do we work with our population to say, 'Nursing is where it's at, nursing is the future.' The other…

Deddf Lefelau Staff Nyrsio (Cymru) 2016: craffu ar ôl deddfu: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda chyfarwyddwyr nyrsio

I'll make a start, if that's okay. Yes, I think the supply of nurses has been a challenge, as you quite rightly outlined, and therefore we do need to look at what our patients require, and of course they will require nursing staff, but they also require staff of different disciplines, and the team…

…into the implementation challenges that you've faced. We have consistently heard that a shortage of nurses is the biggest challenge to the implementation of the Act. Have health boards had difficulty recruiting sufficient nurses to the required establishment to fill planned rosters? And, crucially…

I know in some of our wards we've seen a reduction in falls, seen a reduction in patient pressure damage, seen a reduction in medication incidents…

Let's put some statutory guidance under section 25A, to explain how the health boards—. In fairness, how can they answer that question, that…

There is a danger that this is not compliant. I need support to address this issue', and indeed received support to address that issue.…

I think, once again, we need to remember what legislation can do and what other things can do. We are in a shortage of nurses, that's right across the world, but what I believe we've seen as the benefit is understanding what the gap is, knowing what that gap is. We haven't worked out that gap…

I suppose there's that branch into the area of agency staff, because obviously to maintain safe nurse staffing levels and with the recruitment and retention issues that we all know too well about, does that then lend itself to the recruitment of more agency nurses, which arguably cost health boards…
