Context: The following piece of news reports on enhancing the morale of nurses. It contains 7 mistakes in misplaced modifiers. Identify and correct those mistakes.
Nurses demand better treatment in hospitals Sunday, April 1, 2007 1
Carrying red balloons with two Chinese characters for “morale”, about 100 nurses marched to the Central Government Offices yesterday to press the government to improve staff morale at public hospitals. 2
Chairman of the Hong Kong Nursing Staff Association, Joseph Lee Kok-long, who is also a legislator for the health services sector, said surveys done in several public hospitals from 2003 to January this year found poor morale among nursing staff. “3Nursing morale has been always low. 4We found that the rate of job stress was nine out of a possible 10. 5Happiness was three out of 10 and job satisfaction four. 6The findings of the surveys tell us a great deal about staff morale,” he said. 7
Mr Lee, a registered nurse and an assistant professor at Open University, said the Hospital Authority, should improve the nurse-patient ratio which was about one nurse per 10 to 24 patients in public hospitals. 8The international standard is one nurse per four patients. 9
Meanwhile, three legislators, warned that the shortage of doctors was “critical” at New Territories West hospital cluster, especially Tuen Mun Hospital. 10Kwok Ka-ki of the medical sector and Leung Yiu-chung and Lee Cheuk-yan of the Confederation of Trade Unions legislators, said yesterday Tuen Mun and allied hospitals had received the lowest funding in the past three years. “11This meant that there were only 0.52 doctors per 1,000 patients and 1.53 beds per 1,000 patients in 2005-06. 12The comparative figures for Hong Kong West were 0.95 doctors and 5.64 beds,” Dr Kwok said. 13
A spokesman for the New Territories West cluster said the Hospital Authority would recruit another 270 staff including doctors and nurses for the cluster of hospitals. 14
A Hospital Authority spokesman said allocating resources did not only depend on the number of beds and staff. 15The authority also took into account the cost of new medical technology and staff training.
