RE: Covid over? Testing finished?9 Nov 2021 21:30
I think someone needs to understand that not every 'hospital' can take covid patients, largely because not every facility classed as a hospital has ICU facilities. Not only that, covid patients can't be accommodated with non covid patients for obvious reasons so you're effectively doubling ICU and acute staffing requirements. Whilst admittedly covid admittance is well down on early 2021, there's the small issue of trying to treat everything that was put on hold at that time when the NHS was solely focussed on covid. The NHS is under acute strain still. Or perhaps the people in charge of it are just lying.
