Not being argumentative, just wondering what they could have done in the last two years to increase capacity - it's no good having more beds if we don't have the staff to treat the patients in them.

I'm sure there are initiatives that could have been undertaken.
Not my area of expertise, but if I was the health secretary or NHS boss, when it is known that we need to increase capacity quickly in the short term then I would have looked at all and any initiatives.
Like I say not my area of expertise but one I can think of, off the bat is How many ex-nurses are there? offer golden hellos to nurses that return.
If there is a real will to do something, something can be done.
