Answer

Why is staffing such a concern in Mallorca’s hospitals right now?

Hospital beds only reduce pressure if there are enough trained people to run them. In Mallorca, the main concern is whether nurses, doctors, and support staff can cover the extra workload without pushing other parts of the system into strain. If staffing is thin, operations may be delayed and primary care may also feel the impact.
