Royal College of Nursing responds to the National Audit Office report on NHS England’s modelling for the Long Term Workforce Plan
RCN Director for England Patricia Marquis said: “This NAO report may not be damning, but this credible intervention asks the government and NHS to ‘revisit’ their ill-founded optimism.
