    The trouble with over a decade of failing to raise pay in the public sector in line with inflation is that eventually you run out of other people’s free labour.

    As for this bit: “NHS England and ministers have both said strikes by doctors are a factor in the rising number of people waiting for treatment.”

    The waiting list began to slide in around 2011-2012 and progressively grew until 2020 when it then began to skyrocket. The problems predate the current strike action.
