Hospitals around the country including in Boston, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Manchester, Lincoln, and Blackpool are struggling due to the lack of nurses and medical staff.
After Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby reported that it was forced to cancel some operations and appointments, it has now been revealed that more than 40k nurses have left the NHS in the past year.
After many years of the Conservative Government promising to look after the NHS and increase funding, NHS nurses are leaving in their droves after feeling undervalued. The nurses that have contacted In2Town News Today have said they are leaving due to stress, and not being appreciated by the Government new and old. Others have said they are struggling to survive on their current wages.
