Numb, tired, broken, depressed, powerless, hell, relentless, imploding: These were among the common words used by NHS staff in interviews during the health safety watchdog's investigation.

Many NHS staff"cried" when describing their working environment to the health safety watchdog, an interim report has revealed.

Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch investigated staff wellbeing across urgent and emergency care systems and its impact on patient safety.Manystaff cried or displayed other extreme emotions when describing working conditions, their personal feelings about decisions they or others had to make in relation to patient care, and the burden of moral distress, the report outlined.

"How many people are we going to kill today?" was found to be a common worry among emergency ambulance dispatchers due to their"frustration and sadness" at not being able to send ambulances to patients in need. The watchdog heard of occasions in which more than 100 category 2 calls - made for emergencies such as a stroke, that needed to be responded to in an average time of 18 minutes - were left waiting, with no available ambulances to respond to patients

Staff handling 999 calls reported receiving multiple calls from patients waiting for an ambulance, and hearing patients deteriorating without being able to do more than offer telephone advice.

They’re over paid and over winging. Sack them and get proper hard working staff.
