so the groups which represent nhs trusts and management have raised the concern of, as i said, alreadyf from applying for roles in the future. hospital waiting lists in england are now the worst since records began. 5.6 million people were waiting for routine hospital treatment at the end ofjuly, according to the latest figures from nhs england. some of the longest waits are for people needing hip and knee replacements and cataract surgery. and ambulance waiting times also continue to miss their target. our health correspondent anna collinson reports. this cctv footage shows the agonising wait for help after a man�*s heart stopped beating. an ambulance crew takes over half—an—hour to arrive. the target is seven minutes. shortly after, the patient passed away. his son, also a doctor, believes the delay caused his death. every minute of delay counts in the situation where you have a cardiac arrest. cpr is important, but it will not in itself save a patient. it gives you a bit of time before somebody gets a defibrillator. by the time the ambulance crew came, there was nothing to shock, it

saffron cordery, deputy chief executive of nhs providers, which represents hospitals and other nhs trustsriving to get through as many procedures and operations as possible, but was really struggling pre—pandemic as well. so i think what we've got is this scenario where we need to be able to focus now as heavily as possible on getting through that backlog of care, but that's made it incredibly difficult when we've got of care, but that's made incredibly difficult when we've got rising numbers of covid patients coming through the front door. so what is being done to work through that backlog? are hospitals and other health centres now operating at full capacity? well, they are operating at covid full capacity, rather than pre—pandemic full capacity. there are huge constraints on the number of procedures and also, you know, the processes of infection protection and control, the levels of staffing needed in covid, the need for social distancing, it does pullback on the number of procedures that can be carried out. and it's also worth remembering, and i think this is an important context to h

i think that i what we have to look at from an nhs perspective is what all of this means for trusts on the severity of covid in those who have been vaccinated and also back translation into hospital cases and ventilation cases. but, and i think there is a big but here, we also need to remember that despite the vaccinations, which are really important, we are seeing in covid cases rising steadily and we are seeing particularly spikes in the number of covid cases when we have big events, things like the euro 2020 finals and things like that. we do see things like people coming together en masse and then a spike in cases... share coming together en masse and then a spike in cases- - -_ spike in cases... are those people, is that translating _ spike in cases... are those people, is that translating to _ spike in cases... are those people, is that translating to people - spike in cases... are those people, is that translating to people going l is that translating to people going into hospital?— into hospital? when you see the number of _ into hospital? when you see the number of cases _ int

around 12% of nhs workers in trusts have not had a second doused of the covid vaccine.rnment has already said that for care workers in england, they will need to have a vaccination by november. already the law in england on that front. ministers now consulting on whether to extend that to those 1.2 million nhs staff as well, unless they have a medical exemption, but some concern about this idea. unison, the idea which —— the union which represents those worker says that if it goes ahead it could make it harder to retain some nhs staff at a time when there is already a shortage in parts of the nhs. as you said, this is a six—week consultation and ministers will have to make a final decision as to whether to go ahead. it is for england only. no plans to introduce mandatory vaccination in wales, scotland or northern ireland at the moment. thank you. the scottish parliament will vote this evening on plans to bring in a vaccine passport scheme for entry to nightclubs, major sporting events and concerts. if it does, scotland will be the first nation in the united kingdom to u
