Keep the nursing advisory unit in the deparment of health

Keep the nursing advisory unit for the Department of Health.

Why is this important?

The nursing advisory unit, advises the Government on health policies and how they will affect nursing and nurses, allied health professionals and ultimately the health of the country.

Nurses are the largest workforce in the UK and if they close this unit, it means that effectively nurses voices will not be heard within the department of health and they will get their information from lobbyists and private health care companies.

The nursing posts that will go are nurses who advocate on behalf of those with mental health and learning disabilities, some of of our most vulnerable members of society. The Royal College of Nurses voted to ask their council to lobby Jeremy Hunt to keep the unit. I would ask you to join the campaign.
