ON behalf of the Registered Nursing Home Association we should like to express our sincere thanks to nursing home staff throughout Yorkshire and Humberside for maintaining vital services to patients during the extremely difficult weather conditions that have prevailed over recent weeks.
Like everyone else, nursing home staff have faced extraordinary difficulties in getting to and from work in the snow and ice. The fact that the vast majority of them have turned up for duty as normal is much appreciated by patients, relatives and nursing home owners and managers.
Ian Turner, Chairman, and Frank Ursell, Chief Executive Officer, Registered Nursing Home Association, Birmingham.
