Why is this?

The media just love a good bit of drama to stir everyone from time to time.
Harry's book provides this but the winter pressures on the NHS less so.
Though I'm wondering if the situation there is any or much worse than years before covid. There has always been winter issues with the NHS but most years it was swept under the carpet and not given an awful lot of airtime but the pandemic response has presumably focused a few more people on the NHS than before.
Plus I guess there's always the view that if it doesn't affect you you're less interested in it. If you're not on a waiting list or in the treatment system or whatever then you're not involved with the NHS and less likely to pay much attention to what is happening there (compared with any other service or workplace you're not using).
To be fair, I'm not really bothered about Harry wanting to stir up drama out of nothing... it's getting tiresome.
