  • Description: A report by the House of Commons Health and Social Care Committee after an inquiry into the issue found that staff shortages were ultimately the biggest driver of workforce burnout, which evidence to the MPs described as feelings of low energy or exhaustion, increased mental distance from or negative feelings about the job, and reduced professional effectiveness.1 Excessive workload was identified as the key predictor of staff stress and workers’ intentions to quit, of patient dissatisfaction, and was highly associated with the level of errors. Suzie Bailey, director of leadership and organisational development at the health think tank the King’s Fund, said it was a “bitter irony” that many staff were made ill because of their work and “particularly shocking” that ethnic minority staff reported worse experiences. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said, “We recognise the pressures that staff have faced during this time, and the government is doing everything it can to support their wellbeing, including through £37m this year to fund staff mental health hubs, a dedicated helpline, and a 24/7 text support service.
