and other non striking staff, such as experienced consultants. are more likely to have booked days off. combining all of this is why there are predictions of 250,000 or more elective procedures and outpatient appointments impacted by this strike. that would be a larger disruption than the six days ofjunior doctor strikes in 2016. and recovering from those delays will add an extra pressure on already stretched services. for every day you lose, you have to get a day back. and there are nearly 1.5 million people referred into hospital for treatment every month. so losing the days that we are coming up to will probably take some months to catch back up, assuming there are no further strikes and that will require people to work harder and you know, quite a lot of extra effort. and that is one of the things i think is a worry because of course while the doctors are on strike, other people are taking the strain.
