A fifth of staff may be absent from an NHS organization you trust England In three weeks from now, a representative organization has warned, in part because employees have had to self-isolate amid rising coronavirus infections.
NHS Providers, a membership organization for NHS Trusts in England, said the staff shortage, also caused by people taking annual leave late due to the pandemic, could lead to 900 cancellations. She refused to name the trust.
They also cautioned that a growing number of trusts have alerted them to their concerns in recent days about how the need for staff, the majority of whom have been vaccinated, to self-isolate “significantly affects their ability to provide care”.
