It`ll be agency staff.
Which in the main, is due to the shockingly poor wages and working hours.
The burden is being shifted to care homes, GPs and community nursing, but 'importantly' out of hospitals.
Those P&O staff retrained quick...
A burden which was picked up by, in not insignificant parts, EU immigration
Probably get the military in again, after they’ve trained us how to be Junior Doctors.
Out of sight and out of mind.
More spin. lies, box ticking and undoubtedly, fat contracts going to their mates.
The carers, in private employ, get paid per patient / client that they see and not for travelling, to and from each person they see.
How can that be right ????
An old boy, I used to visit when I was volunteering, had a Polish girl, that used to come every day and make him a meal, give him his meds, tidy up etc.
She covered the whole of South Liverpool, from Speke, to the City Centre and had to get the bus, from client to client and never got paid for the time she was travelling.
He working day, was something like 7am - 8pm, sometimes seven days a week and she was constantly covering for other staff for various reasons too.
For this she got slightly above minimum wage and the net result, was that everyday, she was playing catch up, as if one bus was late / got cancelled, her schedule for the rest of the day was buggered.
Her working day was just insane.
It genuinely would be much easier working in a supermarket or Maccies.

You've got ambulance training first haven't you? And who's got the extra shifts patrolling the south coast and borders? When does the train driving training begin? Who's opted in to cover loading and unloading at the docks/ports? Anyone traded up into the 20k extra police that are actual replacements for cuts?
Maybe they're in the DFS sale as well?
Which does somewhat grate when the average care home costs around £35,000 a year.
And yet the margins which care homes run on are, by and large, very small. Particularly susceptible to a weaker £.
Yes, I don't believe it's a result of profiteering or anything, but I'm sure many will come to that conclusion. Either way, given the demographics of the country, it's not a sustainable situation. As the book from the Turing Institute I mentioned earlier demonstrates (https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501768040/robots-wont-save-japan/#bookTabs=1) tech really hasn't done much to change things yet.

How long for... Shortage of GPs and Districts nurses, they cant cope with home care now, let alone mass influx of very frail many palliative care people into care homes, thrashing around gapping for air days on end, is terrible way die wherever venue.
They’ll relabel Defence as a versatile force, and get us to do the lot; despite getting the smallest percentage pay rise ?
