Fewer RNs in aged care.

The link between the provision of quality care and having the right balance of skills, including both nursing and care staff should not need to be spelt out. It is fundamental to ensure all residents of aged care facilities have timely access to the appropriate care required and are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve and are entitled to. One of the key planks of the Because We Care campaign - having sufficient staff with appropriate skills, qualifications and experience - continues to be a priority for the ANF now and in the future.
