But they didn't have to keep an army of doctors and nurses on standby, just use the ones that they used anyway. They built temporary hospitals knowing they couldn't staff them - that was purely for the photo op. Instead they continued to use up precious hospital space when that could have been reopened for general care - absolutely bonkers!
All those lost positions would have been usefully employed over the last ten years and in to the future in providing a decent NHS with better service and shorter waiting lists.
