Hospitals are struggling to maintain safe staffing levels because the Omicron Covid variant is sending huge numbers into self-isolation

- which also runs six hospitals in its area - with an internal letter warning it is "unable to maintain safe staffing levels", leading to "compromised care".

Critical incidents are thought to have been declared at up to four other hospital trusts in the UK, with the chief executive of NHS Providers saying approximately half a dozen have done so. It allows them to "carry on providing the services that it needs to provide, particularly the critical and essential services".He refuted claims up to a quarter of staff could be off work with coronavirus, telling Sky News the data does not suggest this to be the case.

Need to stop sacking the staff they do have because they won’t have a vaccine . If you need hospital treatment the last thing you would be asking is is staff are vaccinated anyone who says otherwise is a liar or not all there.

And the governments plan for this is to jistbgrin and bear it 😒 why aren’t they working to reduce the amount of infections in the public, this would reduce the positive cases and reduce the need for isolation. Problem solved 🤷🏻‍♂️

Johnson’s inaction and failure to introduce effective measures has created a totally predictable meltdown in hospitals across the country. How long until the public says enough is enough? He is way past his sell by date.
