Article Abstract:

The number of nursing posts lost throughout England as a result of financial deficits runs into thousands, although the Department of Health and hospital managers think such service reconfigurations have no direct impact on patient care. A study conducted in 1999 to investigate staffing levels and the outcome data for almost 120,000 patients at 30 acute trusts found that cutting nurse numbers costs lives and patients were 26% more likely to die on wards as a result of staff shortage.
