Staff
Abstract
The development of the health service depends on the availability of staff, from porters and ward orderlies to highly qualified specialists. Within the hospitals and institutions, satisfactory standards of care cannot be maintained, nor can facilities be used to maximum advantage, without the right personnel in sufficient numbers. The development of community care is even more dependent on staffing levels, since the whole concept rests on the availability of various sorts of skill, properly organised and co-ordinated.
