NHS will take ‘months’ to return to normal after Covid-19 pandemic ends, Hopson says
NHS is likely to take ‘months’ to return to normal service provision after the Covid 19 pandemic. Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, warned that the NHS workforce is “exhausted and traumatised”. Politicians and patients should neither expect nor pressurise the NHS to immediately resume speedy diagnostic and treatment services because that is “not possible”, Hopson says.
