Brits personeelsgebrek in zorg

7 januari 2022 om 10:33

LONDEN (ANP) Circa 200 militairen zijn in ziekenhuizen in Londen aan het werk gegaan om er het gebrek aan personeel te helpen verlichten. Onder de militairen die te hulp schieten zijn artsen van het leger. De coronamaatregelen die mensen verplichten zich te isoleren leiden ook bij de nationale gezondheidsdienst NHS tot personeelsgebrek en zetten de zorg onder grote druk. Omikron zorgt voor enorme aantallen besmettingen.
