The NSW nurses' union has lodged a court case against the state government for breaching patient care awards, due to understaffing.
The NSW Nurses and Midwives Association (NSWNMA) has prepared a statement of claim for the Supreme Court for what it says is systemic non-compliance with staffing ratios state-wide, including at major hospitals such as Concord, Royal Prince Alfred, Westmead, Liverpool, Nepean, Wollongong and Gosford.
