Some excellent data journalism here from Channel 4 News which draws on our previous research into the impact of nurse under-staffing on patient mortality. channel4.com/news/factcheck…

“I’ve seen someone left in a soiled pad for six hours... there aren’t enough nurses.” Our FactCheck team has got hold of secret files that reveal one in three hospitals in England are missing 10% of planned nurses. This is what that means for the nurses of the NHS. #NurseCheck

Extraordinary that the figures obtained by Brian Georgina Lee for C4 News FactCheck have been buried for SIX years. Tonight former Health Secretary Sir Jeremy Hunt MP tells us patients’ lives have been jeopardised by nursing shortages and he has a personal mea culpa. Watch at 7.

If you are a health care worker or a patient or a relative of anyone with experience of nursing shortages please get in touch with us using this email address: [email protected]

After we obtained a vast database of NHS nursing files, Jeremy Hunt -- who first published the data before it was later shelved by the his successor -- says he “didn’t realise until Channel 4 uncovered it that that information wasn’t being published” Cathy Newman #NurseCheck

Our C4 News FactCheck team reveals the NHS hospitals with the most missing midwives in their maternity units. Overall, we find that one in eight maternity services are missing 20% or more of planned midwives. #NurseCheck


Delighted that a story I worked on — Undercover Inside Reform’s Campaign — has been nominated for a BAFTA. And exciting that Channel 4 News is nominated twice in this category!
