I would say it is more likely to be down to poor senior management, there are lots of managers in the NHS. You would think that with many wards closed, operations postponed etc, that doctors could be redeployed to support A&E.
In my experience A&E in the NHS has been a basket case & deteriorating for decades. There has to be some kind of strategy on decisions being taken to keep people waiting. In most other industries this problem would have been addressed to stay in business. However, whatever budgets are available senior management have decided not to address the A&E conundrum. This also applies to the ambulance service where year-on-year deterioration is regarded as normal ‘service’ | |
