I've said before that the NHS crisis is largely made up of a workforce planning problem - not enough staff attending patients.... but, now it seems that the NHS, under continuing budgetary pressures, plans to reduce recruitment & mobilise AI & associated technologies in treatment.
This is of course Wes Streeting's doing, so one can but hope that it is now recognised for the miss-step it is.
(The new plan is also focussed on staff retention which *is* welcome)
