Nurses and midwives are ramping up their pre-election campaign to install staff-to-patient ratios in NSW public hospitals, with a series of TV ads.
After four statewide strikes last year, the NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association says it is targeting candidates of all political stripes to back shift-by-shift ratios amid chronic understaffing.
Association general secretary Shaye Candish said the ad campaign, which urges people to "vote like your life depends on it, because one day it might", puts health and wellbeing front of mind for voters.
