A Welsh Assembly Committee report has found that morale among community nurses in Wales is low and many are leaving the service due to stress and an increased workload. The Committee said the changing nature of healthcare, in particular the move to provide more help in the home and the ageing population, made the role of community nurses increasingly important. Dai Lloyd, the Committee Chair, said: “We are proud of the work that community nurses do. They are unsung heroes in the health service. We are concerned to hear from nurses about low staff morale and in some cases nurses are leaving the service as a result of stress and increased workload.”
