NHS national staff survey

Forty-seven per cent of NHS staff report seeing an error over the previous month that could have hurt either staff or patients, according to the results of the first NHS national staff survey.

Over 200,000 NHS employees took part in the survey organised by the Commission for Health Improvement, which was conducted in October 2003. The survey also found that while 75 per cent of staff routinely worked more than their contracted hours, 73 per cent were generally satisfied with their jobs.
