Safe Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Bill / Bil Lefelau Diogel Staff Nyrsio (Cymru)

Evidence from Richard Jones – SNSL(Ind) 01 / Tystiolaeth gan Richard Jones – SNSL(Ind) 01

As a Registered Nurse with 44 years experience of working in or with The NHS in Wales, I would ask the Health & Social Services Committee to give this extremely crucial Bill your utmost consideration to ensure that your constituents are given the legal right to Safe Nurse Staffing Levels, when they are being cared for by the NHS in Wales.

I have always believed that the People of Wales deserved the highest standards of health care being delivered by appropriate numbers of Registered Nurses and trained Healthcare Support Workers, and would want the National Assembly of Wales to be in the vanguard across the UK in ensuring that Safe Nurse Staffing Levels are enshrined within the legal framework of law.

I believe that your constituents will overwhelmingly support the introduction of such an important law and respectfully ask that all members of the committee support the passage of this Bill into law.

Regards

Richard Jones
