HSJ 18 January 2016 (Subscription required)
  • NICE has published, through HSJ, four evidence reviews into staffing levels around nursing in A&E, community nursing, inpatient mental health services and management approaches to safe staffing. 
  • The move comes after two NICE non-executive directors reversed a previous FOI request decision and concluded that it was in the public interest for the evidence reviews to be made public.
