🚨 Exclusive: Rishi Sunak to announce a £1bn cash injection to fix NHS staffing crisis delivering thousands of extra nurses & doctors over 15 years - but the £1bn is only part of the cost with the rest of the plan unfunded. Story with @HarryYorke1
thetimes.co.uk/article/rishi-… 1/4
No.10 is still working on the plan, but it is expected to announce a doubling of medical school places for doctors to 15,000 by 2028-29. It will also promise 24,000 nurses and midwives by 2030 & 2k more trainee GPs #workforceplan 2/4 thetimes.co.uk/article/rishi-…
In a change to the way these things normally go, @Jeremy_Hunt has backed more investment while @SteveBarclay has pushed hard on the NHS signing up to efficiencies. Treasury officials resisted fully funding the plan 3/4 thetimes.co.uk/article/rishi-…
The NHS workforce plan could be unveiled in time for the NHS 75th birthday next month - Rishi Sunak and Number 10 are reviewing the details and insiders say things could still change.

ICYMI at the weekend. Within our workforce plan story above was this bizarre move by @NHSEngland to pause new courses for community district nurses - an area where we are in deep crisis #districtnurses @CrystalOldman Image

🚨 EXC: Chair of Mid Staffs inquiry, Sir Robert Francis KC warns @SteveBarclay: "What we are witnessing across the NHS is the Mid Staffs scandal playing out on a national level, if not worse.”

Comes amid plans to block buy care beds to free up hospitals
thetimes.co.uk/article/8892ee…

Sir Robert Francis and @rachelpower222 saild the current situation was a "disaster" and people were dying needlessly. They called on the government to declare a national incident: thetimes.co.uk/article/8892ee…

🚨 Exclusive: "The poor patient was deceased and had been for some hours...How awful it must be, being alone, calling for help and nobody comes until it’s too late.”

My big read on the NHS this week as UK excess deaths is among the highest in Europe:
thetimes.co.uk/article/why-is…
My colleague @RachelLavin has taken an in-depth look at UK and EU excess deaths - something other than Covid and flu is driving our deaths higher than most other countries. @ActuaryByDay believes it is the NHS crisis:
“I’m absolutely convinced the NHS crisis, the healthcare failure, is an absolutely pivotal part of the UK story. Successive governments for decades have always run the NHS quite ‘hot’ with high bed occupancy rates and shortages of staff" - @ActuaryByDay

The Sunday Times has been told of problems across the country, including in Surrey, where GPs were told in a leaked message from Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board that hospital mortuaries in the area were nearing capacity thetimes.co.uk/article/d55b3f…
The Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Health and Care Partnership told staff hospitals were so busy “there is a real possibility we will need to erect tents in hospital grounds”. It appealed for staff willing to take on extra work to come forward: thetimes.co.uk/article/d55b3f…

While I wait for The Sunday Times to be put to bed...2022 has been a busy year. Here are just some of my specific stories that I think worthy of noting as we had into the #NewYear
1) First up from Feb is this story where we revealed the fact midwifery staffing was going into reverse for the first time with serious concerns about care and maternity units closing 323 times in 2020-21
2) Then in March, we had this interview with the @MidwivesRCM chief which certainly made waves as we headed towards the publication of the Shrewsbury and Telford report:
