Over one million days lost in five years due to stress & rising workload
-
MORE than one million days of staff time for nurses and midwives have been lost due to a growing mental health crisis.
The staggering toll works out at nearly 3000 years for the frontline staff who are central to the NHS.
Trade unions have warned about rising stress due to workload issues in the health service and the impact of dealing with the aftermath of Covid.
Figures obtained by the Scottish Lib Dems show 1,091,134 days of staff time for nursing and midwifery staff have been lost in the past five years. The number spiked last year when it jumped 15 per cent from 221,357 days lost to 253,873.
NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde reported the highest number last year with a total of 64,528 days.
