A few doctors striking for a few days will not be what causes the collapse of the NHS.
Years of chronic underfunding and mismanagement will do that for you.

The real cause for alarm for me is that the NHS is going into this winter stressed and stretched *yet again*.
We should have a health system that can cope much better with winter pressures and we just don’t. 7/8
