I agree with you there Kizzy (a miracle!) - the total failure to address NHS understaffing that's been going on (and getting worse!) for years now is a huge problem, and very much an austerity/Tory problem. And they've tried to solve it by throwing volunteers and students at the problem as though that's a viable alternative to having a full roster of properly trained staff.
