The suspension of the health service is most easily observed in these data sets.

Since April the amount of tests conducted has fallen by 42% compared to 2019.

#EnoughIsEnough
The impact on peoples lives is not just a small inconvenience but a major life changing event, operations will be delayed treatment delayed, cancer treatments delayed, heart operations, the backlog of work is HUGE!

Do not underestimate the scale of this!
The NHS will never recover, it has still spent it's budget for 2020, so in effect the cost of this is approximately ÂŁ60 billion, and climbing. The armed forces cost less.

Add on the ÂŁ14 Billion extra and the government has blows ÂŁ74 billion so far. Just on the NHS in 8 Months.
ÂŁ74 billion on what? And the costs keep rising, the debt mountain grows but still people are dying of of conditions that could be treated by the NHS, 14,400 in lockdown 1 alone should have been saved, FACT ONS.
