Jane Cummings is the Chief Nursing Officer, formerly at the Department of Health and now at NHS England In November 2013 she was interviewed about the demand for safe staffing levels in NHS hospitals and told ITV Daybreak: "The most important thing to do is to use evidence to determine what the staffing levels should be. "It's actually quite dangerous to to suggest that there must be a particular minimum and what we really need to do is to look at the needs of the patients on a particular ward or service and that will vary.". She was centrally involved in the response to the Francis Report on the Stafford Hospital scandal which requires NHS trusts to review and publish their staffing levels at ward level. She has been at the forefront of efforts to defend the nursing profession in the wake of cases like Mid Staffordshire which have “threatened patient confidence and challenged us all as professionals”. In December 2013 she was involved in the launch of the £100 million Nursing Technology Fund and said “Technology is a tool that, if embraced and used in the right way, allows healthcare professionals to work differently and more effectively so they can focus on what they do best – providing compassionate, high quality care for patients." She was said by the Health Service Journal to be the 36th most powerful person in the English NHS in December 2013. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jane Cummings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
