House of lords First reading intro Second reading debate Amendments Third reading Royal assent This process of a policy in government may seem very long and drawn out and some may wonder if some policies ever get to be approved. There are cases where a policy has stayed as a policy for years however this system is in place for a very good reason like making sure polices are complete trying to compromise with all parties and making sure there are no loop holes within the policy that people can exploit and bend this is also why the policy is seen by the house of lords and then finally approved by the queen. Some policies that are already in place may need to be updated to keep up with the time and current

Francesca Dennis Outline, explain and evaluate the responsibilities of the different levels of government in the UK The UK is built up of many different levels of government that all play an essential part in running the country. In this essay I will outline, explain and evaluate the responsibilities of the different levels of government. The first level of government I will explore is central government, which is responsible for developing and enforcing national policies, drafting new laws, signing treaties with other nations and defending the nation. These responsibilities you could suggest are essential for the central government to adhere because if the local governments had control of this crucial role, there could be delays in the development and implementations of decisions as there is a lack of any experience of decision-making at this level and central government has decades of decision-making experience and could do a much better job for the regions without any delay. The central government runs at a national level and is based in the Palace of Westminster in London.

Sources that can help us plan staffing models or determine appropriate nurse-to-patient ratios include standards defined by professional nursing organizations and regulatory agencies, and benchmarks from the American Nurses Association’s National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators. Context Nurses have been fighting for better staffing for a long time. This year in February, registered nurses in our nation’s capital gathered together to announce the introduction of safe staffing legislation that would set minimum, numerical RN-to-patient ratios in district hospitals, with extra staffing depending on the acuity of the patient (DC nurses, 2013). In 1999, California became the first state to pass legislation mandating minimum nurse-to-patient ratios (Chapman, et al., 2009). Nursing unions in California lobbied for this legislation because nurses were overworked and patient safety was an issue.
