They're not really, they are struggling. My wife is a nurse, the pressure they are under is unreal. What doesn't help is the shortage of staff, vacancies due to illness etc are usually covered internally within the ward by overtime or bank staff (general pool of staff available for overtime) but very, very few are willing to put themselves at additional risk by doing overtime in the current situation. More often than not my wife gets home from a 12 hour shift with her food untouched because she simply didn't have time to sit and eat it.
