  43. My wife was, recently, taken into A&E, she waited 8 hours to be seen and I counted 31 people in trollies, in the corridor and every bay in the emergency room was full and people (nurses, doctors, helpers) were rushing around like blue-arsed flies- WORKING under a lot of pressure. Overworked under-resourced and under-staffed. My wife and I waited another four hours, for her to get a bed. I got home after 13 hours! There were 9 ambulances outside with patients in them and empty ambulances with crews waiting inside A&E, for their patients to be triaged, before they could go! MILLIONS wasted on PPE and PPE scams (Michelle Mone") - and nowhere near enough money being put in to relieve situations, like the one that I have described. This is common to virtually all NHS hospitals. When mistakes get made - there is always a search for an internal scapegoat - ignoring the real basis of the majority of most NHS problems - working conditions, staffing and pay. People FORCED (by necessity of the circumstances - understaffing) to work two consecutive shifts - and it WAS happening - are likely to make mistakes - they are tired and they are human! The money IS there to really make the NHS effective, but the government, instead of action, set up committees which allocate the money to their pals - and the improvements remain just something to be talked about. Yes, the nurses and ambulance crews need decent remuneration BUT the action is aimed at highlighting and getting action on, all these other issues that are making the NHS appear to be less effective, than the health workers know, that it can be and should be.
