We were honest and transparent about the fact that reduced diagnostic, bed and theatre capacity from staff shielding and social distancing requirements, as well as lost productivity caused by the additional safety measure of wearing PPE would impact on how we recovered services.We felt it was important to quantify the impact of these constraints and show staff what was possible under these unexpected, new constraints.
