“Boris is urged to convene COBRA to save NHS from ‘devastating’ staffing crisis as absences DOUBLE in a fortnight and Covid admissions spike to 11-month high…
NHS England’s most up-to-date staffing data, which was released today, shows 68,082 employees were off sick on Boxing Day.
More than a third of the absences (24,632) were down to Covid, up 31 per cent on the 18,829 who missed work because of the virus one week earlier.
The remaining two-thirds were off work for reasons other than the virus.
Covid absences have more than doubled in a fortnight, with just 12,240 off because they were infected or isolating two weeks earlier on December 12.”
