YANBU at all! I work in the NHS across urgent, emergency, primary and some areas of secondary care. Pretty much wherever you look the service is under strain with some areas unable to cope due to a combination of unprecedented levels of demand, under-resourcing and the legacy of years of underinvestment in people and in capital, from IT systems to basic infrastructure including buildings.
I've talked to long-serving people who are looking to leave in all areas including GPs, clinicians, nurses and managers because of the pressures, lack of support, insufficient pay and conditions.
In terms of government policy, during the period from 2020 we have had 5 Health Secretaries counting Steve Barclay once although he has held the post twice in this period. There has been little consistency despite it being during a period we have needed support from the Conservative government. They all wanted to make their mark in different ways, for example Sajid Javid decided to reorganise the centre of the NHS which meant that while trying to deal with Covid, many NHS managers needed to reapply for their jobs - you can imagine how that affected morale and the mental health of those involved .... and the negative impact of his time is still being suffered.
One of the main proposals from Steve Barclay currently is to remove some of the KPIs so that there will be fewer targets to meet.
You also hear a lot about the 140,000 vacancies in the NHS. Actually this number is an underestimate because it doesn't include all the companies that supply healthcare under NHS contracts. One of the main reasons for them being difficult to fill is that the salaries have slipped back over time. Then there is the negative impact of Brexit meaning that the supply of workers from across Europe has been cut .... so the much maligned NHS managers are spending too much time recruiting staff and being forced to over-pay agency workers on temporary and fixed-term contracts.
You are certainly not being unreasonable to bring up these issues and to despair at the lack of political support & leadership in UK healthcare. The future for a number of areas looks very bleak indeed, with those who can afford it now paying for private care in areas from General Practice to specialist appointments and elective surgery. You can see how that might develop if you look at dentistry and social care in the UK, where the standards of care are closely correlated with the ability to pay. There are opportunities to improve the system, but only with the right level of political will.
