In January, hospitals in England treated nearly a third of all Covid patients since the pandemic began.
The NHS morphed into the National COVID Response Service back in early April 2020. I think it is disgusting how anything that is not COVID has been ignored. Many people will die as a reault of this.
Tell me how can it treat anything else if the staff are sick and the beds full of covid-19 patients?
Despite idiots like you who seem to think that nothing is happening they're treating more patients than ever, including my elderly relative with cancer. Removed

Unfortunately only COVID deaths matter these days. The rest don't get daily numbers published on the BBC so are unimportant - not worth tweeting about with faux outrage.
Absolutely. What happens next? The NHS we "protected" will instead be bowled over by the crushing wave of everything else catching up and restarting once COVID is firmly dealt with (and IF it's firmly dealt with).
Shall we lock down again and tell cancer patients and people needing new hips to stay at home, just to take the strain off the NHS?

What did you expect?
Lets chuck cancer patients in with the covid infected, that'll turn out well.
The NHS are obliged to treat those at greatest risk of death as a priority. If they turns out to be Covid patients, then so be it. All the more reason to get infection rates down, protect the vulnerable and get vaccinated, to free up NHS resources.
100% accurate.
Needs a massive, drastic reform. It is no longer Attlee's England / UK when he turned his dream into reality. To serve the masses. Front line workers are ok but the waste, overpaid, doing nothing management, micky mouse contractors are not. Making NHS a bottomless pit. 83 bln pounds, 2/3 of the annual budget set aside for negligence claims. 4 bln pounds for legal fees. Says it all really.
And to make it even more impossible to manage they want to integrate the NHS with the care sector
Spot on comment!
Complete rubbish!! you don't have a clue what you are talking about. It's easy to blame management, but it is the Tories that are truing to make the NHS profit making for the various cronies supplying the NHS with services and equipment
The NHS costs 1/3 of health care in the USA, and is far cheaper than France or Germany. Where is this unfounded myth that we overspend coming from?
"2/3 of the annual budget set aside for negligence claims."
Do you have any evidence for that, or has it come from that place where the sun doesn't shine?
On your figures, that would be nearly 55 billion pounds...

I suspect the numbers waiting will get worse and boost the Covid figures nicely again.
Remember the empty nightingale hospitals? Use those for the COVID patients. Then staff them with the bountiful agency staff, it appears cost has not been an issue over the last year. That gives you general capacity in other areas. And I find it odd that specialist diagnostic facilities have been abandoned. Do we really need to PET scan a COVID patient, Outpatients have been empty too.
Are you saying that resources have not been diverted to make the Government's response to Covid look better?
I would think that many routine medical treatments have been delayed in lots of countries around the world because of covid.
It’s heartbreaking for anyone who is caught up in such a situation caused by this virus.

Thank you, I am so glad that you, 'Did Someone Say Something', said something so sensible.
And worth remembering how many of those now make up 'covid' deaths, after they couldn't avoid hospital anymore.
Well high covid rates are result of ukgovs decisions.
Taiwan, singapore, ozz, nz, S Korea, Japan.. island states closed borders march. Less covid, deaths, lockdowns or economic damage. S Korea calls covid emergency at just 1000 covid+ cases a day. Ukgov not had less than 4,000 covid+ since mid Sept.
You can see interactive graphs online Google 'UK covid' or different country.
Taiwan just 9 deaths.

Oh.. I also put up idea that those due elective surgery.. Got priority in covid vac scheme and dosed inside 1 month. If NHS staff also all covid jabbed.. It might (?) allow NHS non covid work to proceed.
If that doesn't happen oaps, the sick will just have to wait longer and longer until covid sorted in UK.

No surprise here, this Government has managed to turn the NHS into a one trick pony!
What I am surprised at, is how they're getting away with using smoke and mirrors to conceal what is really going on with covid19
People are clearly dying, but why are so many relatives of the deceased complaining that covid was put down as the primary cause when apparently it was not.
PCR Tests are a nonsense, but no one seems interested in challenging Hancock with probing questions
I could go on

Covidiots are the least of our problems. The NHS is on its knees because of Tory cuts.
Watch out for the tissue of Tory lies.
I've been waiting for surgery for over 5 years! Still nothing. GP reapplied on my behalf because nothing was being done - the standard NHS central blocking system is still working. Even tried going private - which is being blocked by the NHS- and in the EU (while that was still possible). The NHS runs a killing machine of institutionalist obstruction!

Been awaiting for surgery for over 12 months. I have recently been contacted by my Hospital to request my permission to have my op at a local private hospital instead (NHS pays).

As I was being rolled out of theatre, after a hernia operation in September, which I went privately for and waited about 2 weeks for, I asked how long I'd have probably have had to wait if I'd gone NHS. The reply was about 2 years.
Of course, like me, the instigators of these lockdowns can pay to avoid having to wait themselves.

Yes, I had an offer of an ultrasound scan on 28th December but had in 8th January as I could not make the first. Then I has a MRI scan on 27th and have been given a referral for first consultation on 9th April. It is still working. But there has been spare capacity due to services being closed to manage Covid (Significantly more last time than this).
He is talking in general Jack, Ive been seen on an urgent matter like you. But another semi urgent matter due last March is nowhere in sight.

As one of the people who have suffered - awaiting my prostate cancer operation. Hopefully for next week now I can tell you if you’re the patient it’s worrying! Covid was and still is the least of my worries.
Hope your op goes well, I had mine done in 2018 with the Da Vinci robot, was back playing football (at vets level) 6 weeks later.
Why are the Covid patients not being treated in these new Covid hospitals that the tax payer paid Billions for?
Because only COVID deaths matter these days. The rest don't get daily numbers published on the BBC so are unimportant - not worth tweeting about with faux outrage.
Because the auditors are trying to find the billions you suggest has been spent on them?
Because more hospital space doesn’t necessarily equal more healthcare workers suddenly available. That’s why it would be a shame if U.K. accidentally looked like an unwelcoming or unattractive place for foreign skilled health workers to come and work in.
We have a pandemic and our NHS resources are on the limit in caring for seriously ill Covid patients. Resources have been reallocated to cope with the crisis. That said everyone that is ill with a particular condition is being vetted and prioritised. I don't think its fair to blame the Government. That said the private sector needs to step up and assist the NHS as the have the resources.
What happened in 2008 to cause an routine operations backlog worse than one during a global pandemic?
The NHS requires fundamental change. It matters little how much money you pour down its throat because it still runs on principles set out in 1946. The care and professionalism are second to none, but it's organisation is not fit for the 21st Century. It needs proper reform, not used as a political football. Until then no matter how many billions you give it it will make little difference.
And this is a suprise why.... Whilst it's not good at all at least they are still alive........ Harsh but true
I wish I could say the same when and if you get cancer
"Cheer up, at least you're still alive. Harsh but true"
But that would mean I'd be a c_____

Thanks it’s my second op - they missed a bit, love to know why someone needs to mark me down? Just heard 6 in 10 of those who have died were disabled people.
Surely that, in its own right shows that to give those who need to isolate the opportunity and safeguard them would have been the right way to go rather than any lockdown that has just caused more issues for more people!

And so the circle will continue. Now there will be even more pressure on the NHS as tens of thousands of people will become critically ill. Then they go to hospital, catch Covid there or at least be diagnosed using the faulty PCR test as having it, then won't get treated as they now have Covid.
NHS then won't cope, so then another lockdown.
Bye bye freedom until the next election

What’s needed is HMG to acknowledge that its covid policy has been a mistake from the outset. However, this Govt has shown no capacity for any kind of self examination or reflection to make such an acknowledgement
I'm afraid the mistaken policy has become intrinsic....in that the magnitude of the Govts failure has itself become the major obstacle to the Govt being able to acknowledge that failure

No, but it seems you do!
The contagious nature of Covid, and the recently reported opinion that variants will be around for years, will require the setting up of isolation hospitals. The current situation of hospitals being the main source of infection is intolerable for a 21st century health service.
Great idea...But it won't happen as this will be objected to be the WOKE brigade.
Back to Victorian fever hospitals, ironically they just demolished one near us which was used as offices.
Many year ago there used to be isolation hospitals in various towns and cities in the UK. But obviously they all got decommissioned and demolished during the 1960s and 1970s, because the viruses they dealt with then had virtually diminished, due to effective vaccines.

I suffered a fracture dislocation of my shoulder in 2005. The dislocation was put back but I waited 6 months into 2006 to have the fracture screwed back into place with 3 large screws.

How many of the excess deaths are due to non covid deaths? Anybody who died because they didn't have operations etc, because of the NHS focus on covid??? I'm sure the ons have the stats, just got to find them I guess
SAGE have a new lockdown spokesman championing their drive for permanent dystopia with a Prof.John Edmunds stating that Rule of 6 needs to be maintained for another year and other distancing measures such as masks may well be with us "forever".

For a serious and potentially fatal virus, the actual treatment is fairly straightforward compared with the complexity of say open heart surgery. Isolation units could be easily set up to provide dedicated respiratory care, greatly reducing the cross infections currently adding to the death toll. Palliative care, and visits of relatives during the final days would also be possible.
The NHS became the National COVID-19 Service and everything else went in the bin.
We locked down to "protect" it, except we have still seen 100k dead. There will also be a crushing onslaught of backed-up treatments eventually restarting, which will overwhelm the NHS in a totally different way. Some "protection".
What a mess.

Too many expectations of the NHS.
NHS treatment should be prioritised to those who can go back to work, and pay for it.

"Protect the NHS" is such rubbish. The NHS should be protecting us. The fact it can't is a direct result of a decade of Tory cuts combined with the Tories' complete failure to manage the pandemic.

nhs is not free be it primary or secondary care, we fund it with tax, tax paid by workers, tax from the things you buy! not sure why people think it's free. My NHS dentist it not free either, or my NHS medications that I pay large sums. The services are subsidised not free.

If someone you know, did you part your 'wisdom' to them, and how did they react?
I once knew a particularly obtuse American, who stated that he would never get cancer because he has good genes.

because superadded infection on top of COVID is the commonest cause of death. As a hospital work who sees the suffering and death, its time to stop conspiracy theories

Long covid isn’t really as reported on as everything else, how many of those don’t survive? They become excess death %’s
Either way, lives are being cut short that otherwise would have survived
It’ll be years before we know properly

Every week a member of the theatre team I work with either hands in their notice or announces their retirement.
These are experienced members of operating theatre staff who are being replaced by new team members who have no or very little experience.
