NHS staff welfare

Improve staff welfare within the NHS by better retaining and training programs and abolish overworking practices by nurses without breaks, working hours regularly over-running, etc.
We want a healthy, happy and motivated bunch of healthcare professionals, not tired and exhausted staff, who would rather leave this profession and go elsewhere, due to gross incompetence & mismanagement by managers.
1. LOOK AFTER OUR NURSES WHO LOOK AFTER US ALL.
2. GIVE THEM REGULAR BREAKS.
3. LET THEM FINISH WORK ON TIME AND GO TO THEIR LOVED ONES AFTER A LONG HARD DAY'S WORK.

Why is this important?

This is important because the mismanagement within the NHS has reached epic proportions due to budget cuts and staff shortages. The staff that are there are so overworked that they are getting really exhausted, depressed and are looking for other avenues to get out despite their passion for the job at heart. In the last few years the system has deteriorated to such an extent that nurses feel that the current system is failing them.
Nurses are currently 4 times more likely to commit suicide, and doctors twice likely to kill themselves, than people outside the healthcare profession - such are the current stress and depression levels in our healthcare system.
I am appalled to see that bankers are getting millions in bonuses, while our humble nurses are being grossly exploited and are being taken advantage of their good and helpful nature.
I think we as a nation need to at least treat them well and improve their working conditions here - they did not come into this profession to be PUNISHED.
As a nation, we the people of United Kingdom, demand better working conditions for our healthcare staff.
