Wales could be first UK country to ensure 'enough nurses'
A plan's under discussion later which would see Wales become the first country in the UK to ensure there are enough nurses.
Kirsty Williams, the Welsh Liberal Democrat leader, is to present her 'More Nurses' Bill to the Health and Social Care Committee today.
The Bill, which aims to ensure safe nurse staffing levels in hospitals, could see Wales become the first country in the UK to legally ensure this.
Over 4,500 people have so far either signed petitions or written to their AMs urging them to back the Bill.
The Bill was introduced to the Assembly last month, but today represents the first stage of its scrutiny.
