 |  | | | Health Visitors Shortage | 16 October 2006 | | |
The health visiting and community nurse professions are facing their biggest crisis in their long and distinguished histories – that’s according to a new campaign launched by Amicus Health.
Official figures reveal that health visitor numbers have fallen to their lowest number since 1994, threatening public health and the delivery of some of the government’s key health initiatives. Why has there been this decline? And what is the government going to do about it?
