Despite the growing prevalence of incontinence and the recognition that it is a significant factor in admissions to hospitals and residential care, continence care is receiving less funding. This article compares the findings of a continence care survey undertaken in 2007 with one published in 2013. The survey shows there has been a reduction in numbers of specialist continence staff, particularly senior posts, an increased number of patients seeking help, a decrease in funding, fewer continence products being supplied and growing waiting lists.
尽管尿失禁的患病率不断上升，且人们认识到它是导致住院和接受住院护理的一个重要因素，但尿失禁护理所获得的资金却在减少。本文将2007年进行的一项尿失禁护理调查结果与2013年发表的一项调查结果进行了比较。调查显示，专科尿失禁护理人员数量有所减少，尤其是高级职位人员，寻求帮助的患者数量增加，资金减少，供应的尿失禁产品减少，等候名单不断增加。
