In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 3.59 on weekdays and 3.20 on weekends, 11% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 3.3% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.32 in April to June 2025 to 3.48 in January to March 2026.
