Surely this would hit the poorest in society (who often have the most complex health needs) hardest, discouraging them from seeking help--> more late presentations?

Very well written piece.
On fatigue: "You can walk away from flying a plane. But, when youโre short staffed, or a locum hasnโt turned up, you canโt walk away from a patient struggling for breath".
"If youโre going to use the airline industry as a barometer of safety, you canโt pick and choose which bits you compare with the healthcare sector and which you conveniently ignore."
