The need for overtime has not suddenly changed.
The voluntary overtime ban has disapeared.
That is the only change so far.
Everything else remains to be seen.
If excess overtime was required 1 or 2 months ago then for the next while it will be required also.
Are you now saying that there was no ongoing requirement for excessive overtime, the system could and is currently coping with the staff doing a reasonable level of overtime and that is safe?
Or are you saying that the requirement for excess overtime is still there but it is being done because perhaps things will get better someting in the future?
It has to be one of the above so which one do you think it is?
