Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, has been speaking to Sky News after posting a long Twitter thread earlier on the state of NHS hospitals in England.Staff absences due to COVIDHe also warns that putting pressure on staff to meet the gap in demand is"unsustainable"."Everyone's talking about an almost impossible workload."
She says that boosting the vulnerable every three months as efficacy wanes is"probably not" the right long-term approach.12:30:05A pregnant woman in Israel has tested positive for both flu and coronavirus at the same time. The service, at Truro Cathedral, begins at around midday and will be conducted by the Reverend Canon Alan Bashforth and Reverend Tim Hodge.7,000 air purifiers 'won't be enough' to curb Omicron in schools - union boss
Thousands of travellers crowded inside Denver International Airport on Sunday as their flights were postponed or cancelled due to staff shortages caused by COVID sickness. "But the number of staff absences and general admissions with covid on top of existing pressures. This is still stretching the NHS very significantly."
You mean a new strain of the common cold? Yes! That’s exactly what you mean…… and Omicron is a blessing!
If only you, BorisJohnson , was in a position to do something about it I’m sure you would n’t.
Do not break our NHS, SCHOOLS, with your 'bumberling along' attitude...you are killing our services my heart breaks for our NHS
He won't be putting anyone into lockdown, they won't pay for it. Survive or Die now!
BorisJohnson So do something about it.
This will go on forever what will the next variant be stop this nonsense now
Stop lying Boris
I wouldn't like to be in boris shoes.. whatever he does he will always get moaned at... Always someone with an opinion for or against. HUMANS hey, never satisfied ..
Think we could have worked that one out. Total absence of leadership. Just a squealing pig, stuck in a quagmire of its own shit
Great cover for Tories & Gove slease, keep counrty sick & in panic to forget the scandals !!
Hmm only if there was something he could do about it....
The government is clear: Let it rip!
So why isn’t he doing anything about it?
Yes, I'm 74, 3 x vaxed and have it. It's like a mild Cold which on a 1-10 scale of severity is around 2 out of 10.
I've had a serious talk with my daughter (She's 10) and told her that if ever I'm in hospital, on no account, ever, is Boris to come and visit me. 'It's ok Mammy, I'll tell him that you hate him'. She knows what's what.
It’s getting worse
Lock the country down again boris before you have more deaths and millions suffering again you say data says it’s ok data said that time and when you did lockdown it was too late the damage was done I’m one that was damaged from it sort it out now
I’ve got covid now. I’m unvaccinated, why should I get the vaccines now I have some natural immunity? Can someone please tel me
Your Party are the virus for the NHS
He is giving a warning. Trying to get people to take some responsibility and mitigate some of the effects . Seems reasonable . Why is this so hysterical ffs.
Expect 'no one could have predicted this' in a few weeks.
The four step plan in full: 1. It’s too soon to act 2. We’re watching the data hour by hour 3. Holiday radio silence 4. It’s too late to act
Do something about it then!!!
This is from 2018
So as the ERG & SteveBakerHW have given him his script, tarted him up a bit, stuck him at a hospital He fails to understand that the JohnsonVariant is still out there now joined by the JavidVariant By sticking to the ERG plan they will do their best to bring the NHS down.
All because he loves to BuildBuildBuild more houses.... putting more pressure on our already stretched hospitals SayNoToGYWest PrincessDianaHospital
What does he mean IS GOING TO BE. Ffs
COVID-19 in a feeding frenzy and is panicking to find a host. Hopefully this will be our last wave (famous last words).
'------ but I going to do nothing to ameliorate the situation for them because it might make me unpopular with Mr Baker and the ' Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ' (below) So,' Up Yours NHS! You fix your staff shortages, I won't!! ' says Johnson
Plan B - same as last year and the year before. Do Feck All. Get Richer.
Covid is only part of the problem...this man is clearly The Problem. Absolute disgrace.🤬🤬🤬🏴🇪🇺
Bit too late now shud of lock downed the country 2weeks ago
If PM had been on holiday to Mustique , he would have a tan ... ?
Many London firefighters have helped the LAS since the start of covid, by driving ambulances. When boris was London mayor, he closed 10 London fire stations. That’s how much boris and the tories care about the emergency services and the nhs.
So fund it then
He has actually had a haircut
The pressure on the NHS is normal winter pressure compounded with staff off sick because they have a cold that’s called COVID.
So bloody well pay them what they deserve 😳 It would be less than you wasted on Dodi's useless Track & Trace 🙄
I have never hated anyone in my life and I'm 67 but I hate Johnson so much 🤬🤬🤬
He’s always stated he wants herd immunity and is willing to “let the bodies pile high” to get it. He’s the worst possible leader at the worse possible time to “lead” us through this pandemic, half the time he’s missing in action, and the other half he’s on holiday. JohnsonOut
hmm I wonder why its surging through the country? well well never. What a disgraceful Government. Yes that's it The NHS the service you underfunded for a decade, I suggest the Tories might be under considerable pressure next election.
BorisJohnson dithering due to backbenchers. Allowing UK citizens to die on his watch is not patriotic, it is callous ineptitude!
The NHS has been struggling and overwhelmed for years thanks to the conservatives😡
Has the Government become part of the BBC Comedy Department?
Mr Bewildered. Mr Inept. Mr Corrupt.
'continues to surge through the country' exactly has he, the Cabinet, the ERG and the CRG planned.
BowledOut1 This is Breaking News?!? Or are we in a time warp? Because this has been the case for over 2 fekkin years now!! Change the Latin name, change the hair…no! Scrub that bit…..we are in exactly the same position as before, with the same response. Genocide by Borifice
It didn’t have to be though did it BorisJohnson and that’s the whole point.
NHS under pressure Supply chain issues Back to school Tail wagging the dog (Tory backbenchers) Ignore the science Hopeless with maths Can't make a decision Winter months Infinite choices being made every day etc. No Hope, it stayed in the jar!
2yrs to prepare a contingency to an NHS that is ALWAYS pushed to its limits every winter. Covid is NOT going away! It will likely become milder but like the flu it will still challenge the NHS. So stop f***ing around & give the NHS the resources it needs to adapt to high pressure
Best he sort it out then
If we are totally honest about our beloved 'flagship' NHS we have been outsourcing many area for many years and perhaps it is time to commission newly needed services to deal with this properly as private sector can fast and efficiently - markeasewellbeing.co.uk
Ermmmmmmm we all knew this weeks ago.... Keep up BorisJohnson
Wasn’t the nhs under pressure every year before covid Masking the problems with covid. BorisResign
So borrie... What man in the eff... That wants to be is your bitch? Mkaka or nopussie?
The good old masonic plan of creating problems to push their own agenda
Is this our glorious leaders' daily message to the people ? Does that make you propaganda?
If BorisJohnson CARED for the NHS his Party would NOT have destroyed it. Same goes for Policing, Fire, Courts, Prisons, Social Services etc., just about everything that aided living in safety has been eroded plus we now import criminals! pritipatel
There’s another variant waiting just around the corner! VaccinesForAll NotForProfit !
Good job we didn't see the Sky reporter at the end there. They'd have been so covered in Johnson's spaff as to be unrecognisable
BorisJohnson comes out of hiding to state the feckin obvious, but does absolutely feck all to ease the pressure on the NHS. If anyone else was as useless at their job as this guy is they’d be sacked! letthebodiespilehigh
Let’s protect the nhs, by reducing its workforce because the don’t want to be forced into a vaccine they don’t want 🙃
