A&E departments are haemorrhaging staff, an experienced Yorkshire nurse has warned.
Sandy Lay, who works for the Harrogate and District Foundation Trust and is also a local councillor in Leeds, said “overworked and overwhelmed” colleagues were leaving the profession in droves.
Councillor Lay, who represents Leeds’ Otley and Yeadon ward for the Liberal Democrats, said he himself was “partially” retiring in two weeks’ time after “re-evaluating” his work-life balance after the pandemic.
