‘ Only Enough is Enough ’ campaign launched to expose hospital understaffing
Hospitals will be held accountable for unsafe staff levels under a new ‘Only Enough is Enough’ campaign from UNISON launching this autumn, says the union today (Tuesday). As a result of having too few employees, many NHS trusts are unable to provide safe staffing levels, says UNISON.
