Add to that the replacement of residents in training posts with less trained Assistants (without the undergraduate medical degree) the lack of doctors both slows treatment and increases costs, both fiscal and human for the nation.
All NHS staff (doctors especially) used to be encouraged to engage in inquiry into improving care and treatment, and the service constantly strived to be outstanding.
Now it follows NICE protocols or else, so the service strives to become average/mediocre!
