Staff burnout in health and social care putting safety at risk, say MPs
Staff shortages piling pressure on workforce, threatening proper functioning of key services
Burnout among NHS staff is prompting some to quit, causing medical blunders and putting patients’ safety at risk, a committee of MPs has said.
The problem, exacerbated by the pandemic, is so widespread across health and social care that both key public services are in danger of no longer working properly, the Commons select committee that monitors the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said.
