Data: why NHS workers quit

At the end of June hundreds of thousands of people will be marching to celebrate and defend our National Health Service. The NHS is facing many problems because of under-funding, one of those being the decline in pay and working conditions for staff. UNISON is told this by our members on a daily basis, but one way to quantify it is to use the government’s own published data on why NHS staff are quitting. The latest data tracks reasons for leaving from quarter one in the financial year 2011/12 to quarter three in 2017/18. During that time the total number of leavers increased by 6%, but the data reveals that some of the more worrying reasons for staff leaving have increased dramatically. For example, the most recent data shows that almost 5,000 staff left their NHS job for ‘better work-life balance’ over October, November and December 2017. In the first quarter of 2011 that figure was 1,521, meaning it has increased by 213%. if("undefined"==typeof window.datawrapper)window.datawrapper={};window.datawrapper["3gCl9"]={},window.datawrapper["3gCl9"].embedDeltas={"100":681,"200":580,"300":538,"400":538,"500":521,"700":521,"800":521,"900":521,"1000":521},window.datawrapper["3gCl9"].iframe=document.getElementById("datawrapper-chart-3gCl9"),window.datawrapper["3gCl9"].iframe.style.height=window.datawrapper["3gCl9"].embedDeltas[Math.min(1e3,Math.max(100*Math.floor(window.datawrapper["3gCl9"].iframe.offsetWidth/100),100))]+"px",window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if("und...
