In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 3.35 on weekdays and 2.74 on weekends, 18% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 2.0% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.05 in April to June 2025 to 3.17 in January to March 2026.
