• 2 years in and they are putting up tents in car parks with not enough staff to work in them.

    i wonder how long it takes to design/build/fit-out prefab facilities and train a nurse up to IC level?

    we have 350 million a week to spend on this.
    Don’t we?....

  • TBH, in Luxembourg we had army tents in hospital car parks in April 2020. The canteen at the hospital I had to go to a couple of times last year was still a day ward as recently as November.

    I do think it's definitely doublespeak to say it's not serious whilst rushing to expand your capacity.

    They'll be paying their mates a lot more than that to privatise these services...

  • Part of me is amazed that COVID came along to bail brexit issues out.

    No not a conspiracy theory just a perfect Scape goat.

  • Not sure in the UK, but in the Netherlands you need a nursing degree and then do two years on top to become an IC nurse.

    And I assume people to train you during an internship, which is tricky if everyone is already ultra busy.
