That medical hiring freeze still screwing over students who studied for 3 or 4 years to get qualified and fucks over the staff who are dealing with shortages and worsening mental health as they can't get more staff to ease the burden. Not just Nurses and Doctors that keep hospitals running.

Wait so this announcement is more money for urgent care but why can't we have public providers rather than giving more money to private medical providers? We shelve out so much money already since we don't invest and grow public services.
