In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 3.97 on weekdays and 3.36 on weekends, 15% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 18.3% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.72 in April to June 2025 to 3.80 in January to March 2026.
