Hospital bosses warn of a winter crisis - but ministers say there are no plans to roll out Plan B.

Matthew Taylor, head of the NHS Confederation, which represents health service organisations, is urging the government to roll out these extra measures to avoid hospitals becoming overwhelmed."It is time for the government to enact Plan B of its strategy without delay because without pre-emptive action, we risk stumbling into a winter crisis."

Some may feel it is a familiar refrain and that the health service often raises concerns ahead of winter. Ministers will argue more time is needed to assess data before taking big decisions on restrictions affecting everyday lives.The NHS Confederation has also called for a package of further measures to support frontline services - what it terms as a "Plan B plus". This could include encouraging people to get vaccinated, turn up to appointments on time and even volunteer to support the NHS.

The seven-day average of new Covid cases in the UK has risen from around 34,000 a day at the beginning of October to 44,145 cases per day.

A reminder that the World Health Organisation described BorisJohnson's reopening plan as 'moral emptiness and epidemiological stupidity'...

People more worried that they won't be able to go out & get pissed, more than they are about the NHS.

No. 🖕🏻

Bring back common sense 🤦‍♂️ all the tools are there so use them ,why do we need telling to cover up why do we need telling to wash our hands.

No lockdowns.

Two news stories in both of them scaremongering about COVID and another attack on an MP not even in the top three 🔔ends

I had a dream recently, there was a world wide pandemic & this Country was being Governed by a totally inept Government, led by a man of falsehood, who dithered so much & did nothing, thousands died of the virus. I dreamt it again last night. The 1st was set in 2020 the 2nd 2021.

Too bad Boris Johnson hangs tight in his views:

The vaccines are clearly not the way out of this. They lied to us.

Durudestan

Bomc40 wazzared

Looking forward to Christmas lockdown

People need to be responsible for being idiots.

As the NHS are at the coal face FFS listen to them. They are not in this lining their pockets

While vaccine may help reducing the death rate, I personally think it is crucial to bring back the mandatory face mask wearing inside closed spaces along with maintaining social distance. Prevention is better than cure.

more people will die for nothing, the gov needs to grow a pair and mandate scientifically backed rules, you can't wish a virus away, things will not go back to pre pandemic, the virus is here to stay and will kill if precautions aren't taken.

Your vaccines created this mess ...gene altering drugs where not the treatment!😂😂😂

Wonder what bill was talking about during his dinner at downing St?

Just because we are all fed up of covid does not mean that the crisis is over.

Sky and now the bbc posting the same crap within mins of each other. No wonder no one believesa word coming from them anymore. Bought and payed for

I’m pretty sure that something measuring between 50 nm to 140 nm could never get past that right?

Nice mask, makes you look almost like a real horse, or is it donkey? Hmmm not sure.

support thiz please
