I wonder if many others are concerned about the NHS reliance on Microsoft? - with 'cost saving', we don't have desktop apps anymore, so saving and using files outside of 365 is increasingly challenging.... doesn't this feels like a much safer and more sustainable option?
Denmark’s Ministry of Digital Government is phasing out its use of Microsoft Office.. to switch to open source alternatives like LibreOffice instead.
Why? Because relying too heavily on a US tech giant for your nation’s digital infrastructure is starting to feel a bit... well, risky.

“The pressures in accident-and-emergency units are as bad as during the Covid pandemic, NHS bosses say.”
Although, of course, it still is the pandemic.

Winter pressure causing strain as bad as pandemic, NHS bosses say
More than 5,400 patients a day are in hospital with flu, as delays in A&E and for ambulances mount.

One group to listen to - actuaries. Mostly apolitical with one objective only, accurate underwriting of insurance so profits stay up.

It still astonishes me that more people in politics and our media pretend to be concerned about kids having missed school than kids having been killed or sickened by Covid.

Headlines are warning of a 'quad-demic' about the hit the NHS, but data show that a 'quad-demic' is v unlikely.
The worry is not that the NHS is about to be hit by unprecedented demand, but that it is unable to cope with normal demand.

Is the NHS facing a 'quad-demic' this winter?
No, but it is finding it harder and harder to cope with 'normal' winter pressures. Plus flu might still have a nasty kicker in store this winter.
