Wales could be first UK country to set legal minimum staffing levels.

Liberal Democrats are canvassing cross-party support ahead of a crucial vote that could pave the way for Wales to become the first UK country with mandatory minimum nurse staffing levels. In a move backed by RCN Wales, the Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams aims to produce a bill on minimum nurse staffing levels, but this will only be possible if she achieves a majority vote among the 60 assembly members (AMs) on March 5. Labour has 30 AMs, who may not support Ms Williams. However, the combined number of AMs in the opposition parties – the Conservatives, Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats – is also 30. Presiding officer Dame Rosemary Butler said she would vote with the Lib Dems if there is a tie. Labour would not be drawn on its voting intentions. The Conservative Party and Plaid Cymru told Nursing Standard they support the bill in principle. If the March 5 vote goes the Lib Dems’ way, a bill would be drafted in consultation with nurses and other stakeholders. This would then be scrutinised by Welsh Assembly members and could become law next year.
