The NHS and staffing: Forever on the agenda

There are huge staffing issues within the NHS; we all know this and we’ve probably all experienced it first hand at some point in our lives. The problem is, whoever is in charge of the country, it always sits there and remains a problem.

The Tories say they will put lots of money into the NHS but that’s yet to happen and if anything staffing issues have got a lot worse over the last few years. Nurses and doctors struggle to get breaks and some have said they go 13 hours without food or drink because they don’t have time to stop as there’s nobody to cover for them. Labour say they can provide a solution and at least they talk about staffing numbers, whereas the Tories talk more about injecting money, but here we are nearly entering 2017 and we’re talking about the same thing all over again. Will there ever be a solution?
