There are huge staffing issues. Staffing is at the heart of everything. But I don't think it's possible to go from 'the DoH are trying to solve NHS problems without solving the staffing problem first' (which is probably true) to 'the DoH is planning to end the NHS as a free-at-the-point-of-use public service, even though doing so would likely guarantee defeat at the next election'.
I'm just so tired of imaginary privatisation being talked up instead of actual problems. There's probably nothing, save for another major inflation crisis, that will have more impact on whether or not Labour retain power in 2029 than whether the NHS is improving. And they absolutely know this. So I just don't buy this idea that there's a sneaky plan to lose the next election.
