Could have told you that last year, Ray. With the Foundation Year SHO, EWTD's, new GP contract it doesn't bode well for A&E. As I have said countless times that it is unsustainable and 30% of A&E departments may have to close or restrict their opening. A dept. not a million miles away from here has closed its doors at night as they can't get staff.
When I raised this point last year the list accused me of being alarmist. The sad thing is that some of our so called leaders in the profession have known about this and done nothing as they feather their own nests.
