This HAS to be addressed. We’ve finally turned from blue to red. It’s taken them 14 years of poor leadership & cutting funding spent in social & public health with all warnings totally ignored.
We all KNOW that it’s going to take time & money to fix this horrid mess. This programme is absolutely right in what was said, that people will put off seeking the care they need, particularly those who are clinically vulnerable who would be so at risk in a crowded and unhygienic “fit to sit” or corridors Ward scenario. None of this is acceptable . We must repair our most precious service. Pay the doctors, nurses and hospital staff well, train & recruit more of every job that’s required from the bottom upwards. Make wanting to train & to remain in the industry something that people can and will want to do. Look after our NHS, allow it to look after us.
There is so much to fix, let’s start right here. Let’s support our new government in doing this work.
