Are we supposed to get excited at 2 million appointments? There are over 55 million people in England. So one person in every 27 got an “appointment” that they wouldn’t have had that year.

I also notice it was supposed to be “operations, procedures and appointments”. I wonder how many were operations and procedures rather than e.g. routine blood pressure checks.

It’s a load of BS as there isn’t the staff to be able to offer this.

The article does point out that the figures in the comparison data are affected by the strike.

And I will moan if there’s something that warrants it. My sibling works in a private school and is in the cross hairs of a redundancy exercise due to VAT and extra NI. So I think moaning about that is up to me, not you.
