| A sick and aging workforce with no social care doesn't help either. There are lots of people stuck in hospitals who really ought to be out... but they can't get Car Plans or carers. I notice one trust has over a year's wait for a first cardiology appointment. We have skills shortages made worse by the fact that many skilled people in the workforce took retirement around or after Covid while at the same time there are young people whose education has been disrupted who need mentoring by those more skilled and confident to help them make decisions on which direction to take with their careers. Too many live on credit - instead of it being used for an occasional purchase - that is something we rarely did before being bombarded by credit card companies in the 1970s. |
