The Royal College of Nursing's new report confirms what we really already know; the Tory engineered crisis in the NHS is taking a massive toll both on patients & on nurses and other health workers.
There may be many clever wheezes to try & start to reduce the crisis conditions in health care, but lets be absolutely clear - more beds & more staff are going to the the key, whatever else is done!

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 That is the exact opposite of the usual Treasury bollocks that only wants to focus on capex or throw money at data systems if it means oodles of cash for the usual big firms, but hates treating people as valuable.

Yup, its the staff as a cost logic that is undermining so much of society

As I said yesterday, this is so easy and #Labour is blowing it. More than anything, people voted Labour expecting NHS funding. So...
Just announce, "We are levying a #WealthTax on wealth above £xx million to fund new NHS hospitals and clinics"

It sickens to me to think of the way politicians and the public were out clapping for the NHS during Covid, but as soon as we emerged from the pandemic normal business of demolishing the NHS resumed, with NHS staff even being vilified.
Predictably, Starmer and the knaves who surround him have continued the neoliberal project of destroying the NHS, with seeming alacrity as well
@Shivviness
Yes, a lot of commentary (here & elsewhere) has made that point; I think its become a common-sense of those critical of how successive Govt.s are dealing with the NHS crisis!
