easing for england, wales as well. easing for most of us overnight, largely clear skies for scotland, 4 or 5 degrees here. forthe skies for scotland, 4 or 5 degrees here. for the rest of the uk, 7—9. heavy downpours towards the south—west first thing tomorrow morning, low pressure will be dominating our weather tomorrow morning, bringing more torrential showers, initially heaviest in the south—west, but they will pop up elsewhere throughout the course of the day. by the afternoon, we could catch a shower on two or even the sun almost anywhere. that drier for scotland. hello, this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines: a building housing the offices of international media outlets in gaza, including associated press and aljazeera, has collapsed after being struck by israeli missiles. it had been evacuated. here, huge crowds of pro—palestinian protesters have

gathered in london and marched to the gates of the israeli embassy. people in areas where the indian virus variant is spreading are being urged to get a covid jab, as questions turn to the impact on the easing of restrictions. and it's fa cup final day — chelsea play leicester in front of 20,000 fans at wembley. leicester are looking to win it for the first time, chelsea are hoping to win it for a ninth time. now on bbc news... the coronavirus pandemic has created an unprecedented challenge for the nhs, notjust in tackling the disease but in the creation of huge waiting lists for other treatments. in this special programme, experts look at how the nhs can recover in the months ahead and discuss how the nation's mental health has been impacted by the pandemic.

hello and welcome to this special programme on bbc news with me, shaun ley. the coronavirus pandemic is testing the national health service like never before. staff have been left physically and mentally drained as they battled covid—i9 on the front line. but after three lockdowns, and a so far successful roll—out of a vaccine, the darkest days of the pandemic appear to be behind us. however, it doesn't mean the pressure is. the latest figures showjust under five million people are currently on the waiting list for routine operations and in this next half and in this next half hour we'll be discussing how the nhs can tackle the backlog, some of the solutions hospitals and trusts are coming up with, the mental health impact of the backlog on staff and patients alike, and in what state the nhs emerges from the pandemic. here with me in the studio is chris hopson from nhs providers, which is made up of, and represents, the hospital, mental health, community and ambulance trusts that make up the nhs. we'll also be hearing

from dr chaand nagpaul, chairfrom the bma, the british medical association, which represents gps and all doctors in the health service. alsojoining us is sophie corlett who is director of external relations at mind, making the mental health charity's case in public debates. sophie is also responsible for helping local nhs services in england to improve their response to people in mental health crisis. good to have both of you here with us and i know that chaand nagpaul will be with us as soon as he can. and let's talk first of all about the implications of this, chris, in terms of the scale. can you paint a picture first of all of what exactly we are faced with in the nhs now in terms of backlog? how it looked before the pandemic and how it looks now? before we went into the pandemic, we know the nhs was slightly struggling because we know we had more cases, we had more people wanting treatment

than we were able to treat. so we had some of the worst waiting times we had seen for a long time and then what happened is we had covid. what has happened under covid effectively is we had to concentrate on treating people who are seriously ill. so, surprise, surprise, we had to turn operating theatres into temporary intensive care units. that basically means that we have not been able to treat the normal numbers of people who need ordinary operations that we would normally treat. that basically means we have a rapidly growing waiting list. part of the problem and the reason why i cannot fully answer your question is we do not know how many people who would ordinarily come forward for treatment last year and have not come forward for treatment, whether they are going to come forward now. that raises a really interesting point, doesn't it, that a lot of this is unknown because people kind of responded to the sense of crisis caused by a pandemic, they maybe didn't want to go into hospitals for fear that they would get infected. and also they didn't

want to add to the pressure on doctors and nurses who were already dealing and under such intense pressure and the work load that they were trying to manage and did manage successfully. because the system did not give way under the strain, which it has in other countries, most recently in india. yes, i think the nhs has done an absolutely amazing job. we just cannot do everything. that has meant that we've now got these waiting lists that are growing, but the problem is, we don't quite know how big they're going to be. i've talked to one chief executive this week who told me that the problem at the moment is that for every patient that i treat, we are getting two more added to the waiting list. so, even though we are going very, very fast and we are certainly treating the most urgent cases as quickly as possible, we are currently beating the targets that we were set. we were told and encouraged to get back to 70% of the volumes that we were treating before we hit into covid—i9. we are now running at 80% of those volumes, but we still do not know the full size of the problem. let me bring in sophie from mind.

sophie, one of the things you've been involved with, as i said, is this effort to help local areas of the nhs improve their response to people with mental health problems. in the course of the pandemic, what sort of extra problems have arisen and how is that also impacted by the backlog? i should just say, that particular project, when you said i was responsible, that was a particular project that we were involved in that we are not involved in any longer. forgive me, it is still on your website. serves me right for looking at the website. one of our interests is obviously to support local areas to improve their response to people with mental health problems. to go back to your question, one of things we have seen is that obviously services did change quite dramatically when the pandemic started and a lot of community services were withdrawn or went

online and many people who were in hospitals were sent home in different circumstances and so things did radically change and yes. we have seen a build—up of need of people whose needs have not been met, as well as actually people's mental health deteriorating quite significantly during the pandemic, sometimes in fact because they did not seek help earlier. because they felt they should not be bothering services. it is a really complicated but not a good picture. do you have any insight from mind's work? because i know sometimes people do not approach their employer, they look for help outside because they feel professionally vulnerable. however much organisations like the bbc or the nhs say if you have a mental health problem, come to us, it does not always feel like people want to do that. do you have any sense through mind's work of what the mental health impact has been on staff in the nhs? yes. one of the things we have

done during the pandemic is with three other charities, the hospice uk, shout and samaritans is set up an online service for front—line workers, including health workers and emergency workers and we have seen really huge numbers of people use that. that is purely remote, it is online self—care, it is phone and online support, it is 24/1 _ it is phenomenally accessible to people doing shiftwork and maybe have not got a lot of time to go and seek out support and that has been phenomenally well used and has taken us aback. let me bring in doctor nagpaul of the bma and thank you very much for overcoming the technical difficulties and joining us. i just want to ask you about the backlog. we know about the public response to the initial pandemic and how effectively the nhs kind of galvanised the public to take

ownership of this crisis, to do our bit as it were. how can we achieve that same effect, do you think? what will help us achieve that same effect with the backlog? it is really difficult to replicate . that because with the pandemic, it was the case of preventing the spread of infection. - we are actually leaping from a covid crisis to a backlog crisis _ where we have accumulated 4.7 million patients- now on waiting lists, _ about 20 million patients were not seen in outpatient clinics and more i than 400,000, or nearly 400,000, are waiting more than 12 months for treatment compared to just i about one and a half thousand before the pandemic. - so, the trouble is, there's not much the public can do, - it's what we can somehow manage to do in prioritising those - who are most in urgent need of care, but also recognising that this - backlog is going to take, in our view, and experts' view, years to clear.

how do we get that message across, if you like? i think the government has to be honest with the public _ that we have got a crisis, a crisis that looks hiddenj as we are talking about coronavirus infection rates coming down. - but it is a real crisis of patients waiting in their millions. - and in that honesty, - that it is going to take years, what we must do is make sure those patients for whom further waits - could be deleteriousl to their health, those who are in the most urgent need i of treatment are treated first. i ithat in itself requires quite a biti of workforce planning to prioritise and doctors and nurses will need |to be using their time to do so. | sophie, i just want to come back to you on that. does that cause you any concern at all to start this is bbc news — i'm ben brown, with the latest headlines. describing this as a crisis? i just wonder about encouraging

the use of the word crisis for reasons that chaand nagpaul has explained? it is difficult, isn't it? you don't want to call things a crisis and get people worried. but actually there is a huge issue here and unless people take it seriously, it's actually going to get worse. i think it is difficult to overestimate the issues that we are facing. should we be describing it as a crisis? i think we should acknowledge the size of the problem. i think that is really important. that is a no, isn't it? no, i think you asked a really good question which is how do we recapture the spirit that we had over the last 15 months? chaand nagpaul�*s argument is you could well use the word crisis. because that would be honest. we need to acknowledge the size of the problem but the nhs did some extraordinary things. we created 30,000 beds to treat covid patients. we ensured that for example we had the fastest vaccination roll—out across the world. we tripled our intensive care capacity injanuary amd february

to avoid what we are seeing in india and brazil. we now need the nhs to do the same kind of extraordinary things to tackle this backlog. i think we can do it and the problem with talking about crisis and taking a pessimistic view is that we are in danger of talking ourselves down. i think we can do it. we need a proper plan and we need proper levels of funding to ensure that happens. i want to talk about money in a minute. just to respond to that point briefly, nagpaul? we coped last year, | i want to be honest, because we expanded capacity. and re—purposed the nhs to deal with the surge in covid patients at the expense of many other. patients who were not able to be seen. - that is why we have this backlog of several million patients. - it is not about semantics with the word crisis, - its about honesty. we are not going to be able to deal with this backlog. in a short space of time.

many experts think it would take lyears, ijust want to be honest. | iand i think it's really importanti also to recognise that we are not awash with beds and doctors. we already have far fewer hospital beds in places i like germany and france. about a third as many and we havei very few doctors relatively speaking compared to european nations. so there is a challenge, - it's not about creating alarm, but by being honest, _ one can actually try and make sure that those patients in greatest need are treated first. - but also, there's an enormousl potential and what is important really is to use technology to inform patients, - there are thousands of gp appointments taken up every day because patients don't know- where they are in the list. they are literally making appointments to ask - when will i get my hip done? can you chase this appointment up? actually, we can see patients if that can be automated - and use notifications to patients so that they know- where they are on the list waiting and when they may get - an appointment for an operation. i want to come back to this debate in a moment.

let's ask one quick thing. just on the question of money because money is not the only point. it is about getting staff. it is about getting the right equipment, the right people in the right places and we'll talk perhaps about that later in the programme and on the imaginative ways of doing that. 0n the funding problem, i was very struck by looking at the figures. we have had this problem before, we had it back in the 2000s when labour was in office and when you look at the spending, growth rates in the uk spending on health, the average, you will know these figures better than me, i'm not telling you because you do not know, i'm telling the audience and me and everyone else who is listening, the average annual gross increase in health was 6%. under the coalition with the conservatives and liberal democrats during a time of austerity it was i%. since then it has been i.6%. are we realistically going to have to think about moving up again in terms of the annual growth rates or can we manage? 166 million hasjust been

given, announced today. and as i speak announced during the course of the week. 166 million across the health service is a relatively small amount of money, when you spread it across every trust. it is a good question because it's a really good comparison to make. a lot of our chief executives are saying the last time we were in this depth of problem, that is born out by the evidence, that was in the early 2000s. you're right, there were five years in a row where we had nhs funding increased by 7% plus a year over a five—year period for each of five years. what is now on offer is 3.2% so about half of the amount. i don't think anyone in the nhs is pretending that we can get back up to 7%, given where we are with public finances. but, if we're going to do it we need to do, we need a bold radical transformative plan and the government is going to have to invest in that plan and the billions of pounds they have invested in the elective, surgery recovery this year, of which the 160 is a part,

that can only be the first instalment. we think there's going to need to be at least three years of probably something like two or £3 billion a year extra on top of the 3.2 that we have been talking about and that extra moneyjust being devoted to a backlog recovery. that's what we're doing at the moment. working out how are going to do this and how much it'll cost. we will move away. let's move away from considering the big picture for a couple of minutes to the personal experience. in the end, effective health care depends on our relationship with those who treat us. victoria derbyshire has spent the day at st thomas' nhs trust, speaking to staff and patients. among those she talked to, a familiar face who helped her with the breast cancer diagnosis she received back in the summer of 2015. welcome to the cancer centre at guy's hospital in central london. we are here in the radiotherapy

department and as we are walking in, i saw a member of staff here and i thought that she looked familiar. and then this woman said to me, yes, i'm following you around and i looked up and i said, ifeel like i know you. and i do. this woman is called sabrina parreira, she is a senior radiographer and when i was being treated for radiotherapy, you were a junior radiographer, so you have clearly soared in your career, congratulations on your promotion. and, it's so weird bumping to you. and, it's so weird bumping into you. i actually feel really moved. you were brilliant at looking after me four or five years ago in the cancer centre at st luke's in surrey. and you have continued looking after patients. tell us what a radiographer does, because i'm not sure people really know. as a therapeutic radiographer, what we normally do is use the machine behind us and it delivers a high energy x—ray which targets the cancer cells. essentially damages the dna, killing off the cells and preventing reproduction and hopefully killing off the cancerous cells. you target a local area, so if someone had breast cancer like i did, it would just be

on the actual breast area, wouldn't it? whereas chemotherapy goes round the whole body. from head to toe, so we are very localised and we treat all areas, as you mention, head to toe, but concentrated exactly where the cancer tumour is in concentrating their treatment on the area. and have you been able to carry on this treatment through the pandemic? all throughout the pandemic, we have been business as usual, delivering all the treatments to the patients when they need it. how have you managed that? we have had to adapt and as radiographers, we are good at being flexible and adaptable to services needed from us. with that, in social distancing as a team, meaning that less staff in the treatment floor and sat staff upstairs sort of doing the background work with patients and ensuring that they are socially distanced and also in the waiting rooms for the treatments. ensuring that we can treat any patients that were covid positive we had a special pathway for them where they were coming in and isolating them as well from the rest of the department

but ensuring that they also had a fair chance of getting their treatment. have you got a backlog at all? at the moment, we don't have a backlog at all because we have been able to continue our services as usual. we have just kept everything going as much as we could. i wonder if, though, as we emerge from this now, are you expecting any kind of surge in people coming forward for tests for cancer. for tests for cancer? understandably a lot of people have been quite apprehensive going to their gps and sort of getting referrals going. so we would expect some sort of search, but we do expect us to be able to adapt our service as and when it happens and keep going as we have until now. yes, thank you so much, sabrina. so nice to see you. lovely to see you as well. was i a good patient? oh, the best. correct answer. thank you. it's notjust the backlog of delayed diagnosis and treatment that worries people in the health service. it's the effect on our mental health, too. sophie corlett, your charity has asked people about this. what did the answers you get leave

you with the impression of in terms of the level of mental health problems that the pandemic has added? yes, we've done two big surveys actually, one last spring and another this spring, to ask people over a period of time how their mental health is doing. we talked to 1600 people last year. 16,000 sorry, and we found that people's mental health was deteriorating quite significantly in some groups much more than others. women much more than men, young people much more than older people and adults, people of colour, so there were people that were particularly affected and also particularly affected by some of the impacts of already beginning to lose their jobs and financial security. and those things got worse over that year.

so for many people, the whole experience of the lockdown and the concerns about covid itself, bereavement, and being a front—line worker and the mix of all of those things for different groups of people has been really devastating. and for people with mental health problems, they've been one of the groups really most impacted, so people who already had mental health problems whose mental health problems have gotten much worse. dr nagpaul, you've been a gp for nearly 30 years now. your practice is in north london. what has been your experience? have you seen evidence of that amongst your inpatients and more generally in terms of the conversations you have had with other doctors? yes, i mean, the covid crisis has - devastated people's lives and people have been turned upside down. people have lost theirjobs. those with mental health illnesses have not been able to have -

face—to—face support and it's been really tough on them. _ but for the medical profession, we have been doing surveys . | throughout the last year and a bit| and around four in ten doctors tell us that they're burnt out, stressed, i they're physically and emotionallyl exhausted and remember health care lworkers have seen death and illness| at a scale they have never ever been l able to be trained to experience. l whilst we have seen these lockdowns, i that is the time when health care i workers have been at their busiest. we know that large numbers have not had holiday or leave, _ their sense of duty has come first. about four in ten have not even space in their hospitals - to have a proper break. so, this has taken its toll. some are saying there's also - an element of posttraumatic stress disorder in what they had to witness. _ remember, there have been no visitors in hospitals and doctors| and nurses have often been holding phones or smart pads so that - patients can communicate with their loved ones. - it really has been an emotionally challenging period and one - in which we do need to look-

after our workforce by moving ahead. we use the expression who guards the guards. chris, who treats the treaters is also a really serious issue within the health service and you've got a proportionate, at least some of your effort, to sustaining your colleagues. yes and i think it is really interesting when you talk to a hospital or community mental health trust chief executive, the first thing they go straight for is their concern for their workforce and the recognise, they simply cannot provide the service they need to provide or treat patients unless they've actually got a fit and healthy workforce. and they're really worried about what's gone on over the last 15 months as both sophie and chaand have said. they're woking really, really hard to try and provide the maximum level of support, but part of the problem, and i know chaand will echo this, we do not have enough people inside the nhs. we went in with 100,000 vacancies. and don't forget when you experience the kind of intense experience in other parts of our national lives like the armed forces, they rotate, they absolutely,

when you've done your tour of duty and seen some really difficult things, you don't leave people on the front lines. it's a good illustration of how we need to look after our workforce here and recognise that it is a legitimate constraint. we've got about three or four minutes left before the end of the programme. i just wanted to try and lift our collective spirits a little by talking about some of the positive things that are being done. chaand, let me ask you first of all, what are the good news, the good practice things that you have heard that have given you encouragement about the imaginative ways some doctors are trying to mitigate the effects, both of the backlog and the stresses? there's no doubt that technology can play an important part and we have l seen amazing work done in supporting many patients at home. _ if you look at the use of pulse oximetry, i hardly any patients had home pulse

oximeters before the pandemic- and we are now able to really look after patients where they can - measure their own oxygen levels. that is a small example. but i think there is real scope to expand that. i there are two initiatives that we - think would make a huge difference. 0ne is to enable hospitals to prescribe electronic- to patients so they can pick up the prescriptions - in the local pharmacy. that will save a huge amount of gp time because — that will save a huge amount of gp time because at— that will save a huge amount of gp time because at the _ that will save a huge amount of gp time because at the moment - that will save a huge amount of gp time because at the moment they. that will save a huge amount of gp . time because at the moment they are coming _ time because at the moment they are coming to— time because at the moment they are coming to the — time because at the moment they are coming to the gp_ time because at the moment they are coming to the gp to _ time because at the moment they are coming to the gp to simply— time because at the moment they are coming to the gp to simply get - time because at the moment they are coming to the gp to simply get a - coming to the gp to simply get a prescription _ coming to the gp to simply get a prescription because _ coming to the gp to simply get a prescription because they - coming to the gp to simply get a prescription because they had i coming to the gp to simply get a prescription because they had a i prescription because they had a remote — prescription because they had a remote consultation _ prescription because they had a remote consultation and - prescription because they had a remote consultation and also i prescription because they had a j remote consultation and also to prescription because they had a - remote consultation and also to have the ability— remote consultation and also to have the ability to — remote consultation and also to have the ability to request _ remote consultation and also to have the ability to request an _ the ability to request an investigation _ the ability to request an investigation in - the ability to request an i investigation in community the ability to request an _ investigation in community settings would _ investigation in community settings would make — investigation in community settings would make a — investigation in community settings would make a huge _ investigation in community settings would make a huge difference - would make a huge difference inpatients' _ would make a huge difference inpatients' lives _ would make a huge difference inpatients' lives not _ would make a huge difference inpatients' lives not having. would make a huge difference inpatients' lives not having to| inpatients' lives not having to travel — inpatients' lives not having to travel to _ inpatients' lives not having to travel to hospitals, _ inpatients' lives not having to travel to hospitals, going - inpatients' lives not having to travel to hospitals, going to. inpatients' lives not having to - travel to hospitals, going to their gp for— travel to hospitals, going to their gp for a — travel to hospitals, going to their gp for a request _ travel to hospitals, going to their gp for a request form, _ travel to hospitals, going to their gp for a request form, bit - travel to hospitals, going to their gp for a request form, bit being. gp for a request form, bit being treated — gp for a request form, bit being treated irr— gp for a request form, bit being treated in a _ gp for a request form, bit being treated in a more _ gp for a request form, bit being treated in a more local- gp for a request form, bit being treated in a more local and - treated in a more local and remote manner _ treated in a more local and remote manner. , ., treated in a more local and remote manner. ., ., , , treated in a more local and remote manner. , ., ., , , ., manner. sophie, and examples that struck you? — manner. sophie, and examples that struck you? with _ manner. sophie, and examples that struck you? with remote _ manner. sophie, and examples that struck you? with remote services, | manner. sophie, and examples thatj struck you? with remote services, a lot of peeple —
