73.The Royal College of Nursing were concerned about the impact of high nurse vacancy rates on nurses and the quality of care:
“There are not enough registered nurses and healthcare support workers to deliver safe and effective care in adult social care settings such as nursing homes and residential care homes
Registered nurses report working unpaid overtime to fill gaps, additional stress caused by a high-pressure environment, and describe occasions when vital care is left undone
Data shows that while the number of registered nurses is declining, the number of care workers is increasing. We are concerned that inappropriate substitution of skills leads to poorer outcomes for people using these services.”103

Christmas has been & gone, we are in a new year but it is all sounding & feeling very similar to where we were. This time we are ready. We are hurt, we are saddened but we are standing up for what matters and we are united with one aim to see our loved ones #rightsforresidents
Over the last week there has been a lot of anger & frustration building up. Will our loved ones get a vaccine, many still haven’t, goal posts get moved, &the gap widens between 1st/2nd vaccine, will it change the visiting guidance, will we ever see them again,no one will answer!
We hear that Covid+patients are to be discharged into care homes,again.There is a plan,does anyone know it? Where are these designated homes,how will they be managed, will staff be completely separate&where are they coming from?will our loved ones be safe? Can this happen again?

"While I know many of you will be hard at work over the holiday season, I hope you also find time to rest, relax and reconnect safely with your families and friends." from @Helen_Whately Care Newsletter - how many care home families will be reconnected.....#rightsforresidents
"Thanks to effective stockpiling, we’re confident you won’t run out of aprons, masks, gloves and other essentials. What’s more, you can continue to order these and other items through the PPE portal, free of charge, until March 2021" hope all our care homes can confirm this
"The roll out of visitor testing in care homes has also been another milestone with the majority of homes reporting they are providing the service. This means many more residents, visitors and staff can share in the joy of these emotional reunions" - this is a straight lie

Thousands of our loved ones were promised hugs, vaccines, to be reunited at Christmas - care groups are saying no, councils are saying no and we are being ignored and our loved ones are #stilllockedaway we will not stop #rightsforresidents

A month ago with a lot of fanfare @Helen_Whately, @MattHancock and @BorisJohnson announced with delight that we would all get to hug our loved ones again - the media were pushed out to watch a couple of lucky homes in the pilot scheme as they started testing relatives
and what have we learnt in that month - that Councils and Care Groups do not trust the tests. That screens are going up in care homes, that very few will even be allowed to visits let alone hug their loved ones this Christmas. Insurance is still a problem
That promises are made and then hopefully forgotten - but unlike many of our loved ones, young and old, who may not remember us any more we have not forgotten and will not forget. More #pointlesspilots are being done by councils - and so many still wait
