Ah yes. That would explain the empty and unused Nightingale Hospitals and scores of choreographed NHS dance videos.
Yep they look overwhelmed.
Slow. Clap.
That old nonsense.
The "nightingale" hospitals were a PR exercise come last ditch "dying patient" facility, they had nowhere near enough staff to actually man them in a manner that was conductive to actually saving lives (the big problem for a lot of hospitals turned out not to be beds, but the trained staff). IIRC they were basically somewhere if everything went to hell they'd likely have sent the patients with no chance of survival so that those that had a better chance could still be cared for, as from memory the hospital trusts in the areas they were set up were expected to supply all the staff, and they didn't have enough to cover their own facilities to a safe, let alone normal level.
As for the dancing videos, well done, that old nonsense.
There were parts of the NHS that were not that busy because they didn't have the facilities to deal with covid patients, and wards that were closed because they couldn't safely treat non covid patients but at the same time didn't have the staff to treat covid patients in them (you cannot do any operations without the sort of staff that were being sent do deal with covid patients on ventilators for example)
In case you forgot, several hospitals were actually running out of Oxygen and had to have additional temporary huge liquid oxygen tanks put on site and emergency upgrades to the gas supplies to the wards as they were treating many times the expected number of patients that needed oxygen to survive (consider for a moment how basic a supply of oxygen is, and how bad it is for hospitals to start to run hard against what they can supply to the wards and worse, actually having a supply of it at all).
They were also turning Operating Theatres into covid intensive care units, which automatically puts entire wards out of use because they would normally be dealing with patients recovering from the likes of hip replacements.
Guess what one of the fastest/easiest ways to ensure you don't run out of oxygen is? Yup you take normal non urgent facilities out of use so that the only people that are using oxygen and staff are those that desperately need them to survive, My brother in law had a major operation delayed by IIRC nearly 18 months due to covid partly because they needed to be able to guarantee they had the full staffing and safe space for him to recover, and they needed to reserve that capacity for things like car accidents
As for staff dancing, guess what, people have a lot of ways to cope with stress, and one of the most common ones is for the people to try and have a little "fun", unfortunately during covid a lot of the "traditional" british ways of having "fun" were out, they couldn't go for a meal together, they couldn't do any activity outside of work together, and they certainly couldn't get drunk if they were needed back in the next day.
As for "you paid for them" I suspect you didn't given that many hospital staff were working well past their paid hours, and the likes of these dances that have you so upset were almost certainly done by staff who were either going off shift, going on shift, or were on standby for the next load of cases.
At this point i'd sya you're starting to act like a bit of a stereotype with all the old uninformed nonsense memes and arguments.
