Here is a big idea the NHS doesn't get:
"A queue is not a store of work. It is a generator of work."
Queues in the NHS are usually a sign of huge amounts of failure demand.

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years
But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not
This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc
The strategy has run out of road
A 🧵 on what happens next.

In the last decade- ergo 2016-2026- over 10 years?
There have been 8 Secretary of State for Health - overseeing the #NHS
It could now be 9
That is the level of consistency NHS leadership has had to deal with.

Nearly half of newly-qualified paramedics are likely to be unemployed this year. What a failure of workforce planning.

Yep, I trained for 19 years, I have an additional 21 years of consultant experience. I’m on the top of the consultant pay scale. Seeing me with complex cancer, stone or fertility issue costs the taxpayer £18 before tax. A cardiology consultant saving your life at 3am £94. Bargain.

‘Lovely day, Sgt. What are you up to?’
‘Waiting, Sir.’
‘No work to do?’
‘I am working, Sir.’
‘So waiting is working.’
‘Exactly. If there’s a casualty, I’ll earn a day’s money in twenty minutes.’
‘And if there isn’t a casualty?’
‘Then we’ve had a good day, Sir.’

Another tax year done, another year my loan grows. Despite working more than full time as a doctor in my third year of practice my salary repayments don’t even cover the interest on my loan. What a farce of a system.

No. Doctors did not oppose the formation of the NHS. They opposed being govt employees
Doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and opticians all opposed becoming state-employees.
They were worried that the government would undermine their profession (and salaries).
Crazy, right?

I usually illustrate my Heaviness Hypothesis* with AMU data. But I wondered if ED heaviness explains ED length of stay better than mere ED fullness does. And it does! (Though it's marginal!)
(*ED exit block is better explained by AMU heaviness than it is by mere AMU fullness.)

1,000 NHS training posts that were to be created for resident doctors have been cancelled by the Government, after the British Medical Association failed to meet a 48-hour deadline to call off industrial action next week.
The Prime Minister issued the ultimatum to try and stop the walkouts.
@SwainITV has the latest.
