She told BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend:"The workforce is already short, the workforce is already exhausted - mentally and physically - so the prospect of that just must fill everybody on the frontline, and the public, with real concern, because the NHS just has to be able to cope with emergency and urgent care in order for the public to feel safe.
She added that staff were exhausted and the"prospect of not knowing what is happening just adds an extra layer of concern for people"."In the current situation, it doesn't look like there's an end in sight, and that makes the situation sometimes feel even more hopeless than it might actually be." Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, also said pressure had been"mounting rapidly" on London trusts, including hospitals, community mental health and ambulance trusts during the past week.
He told Times Radio:"The number of hospitalised COVID patients or patients who tested positive for COVID has gone up by 30% in a week, at a time when nationally it's only gone up by 4%."
