NHS bosses in England are urging hospitals to offer staff more overtime and tempt retired staff due to the waiting lists being so large after Covid-19 took over most hospitals in 2020 and 2021.
This means that the NHS is hoping for more staff to help with backdating.
Its been said by the NHS England national clinical director of elective care Stella Vig that the NHS staff has been working hard and have almost, in two months, halved the number of people waiting for treatment within the past two years!
“We know there is still a long way to go, Our staff are our greatest asset in tackling the Covid backlog. It is essential we continue to support our colleagues, harness their collective skill and draw on their ideas to improve things for patients.”
