Crisis consequences

Someone speaking on the Today programme this morning told of how, during the last petrol shortage/crisis it had taken the national emergency team some time to work out why hospitals in some areas were struggling to stay open even though medical staff had priority for fuel supplies.

Turned out the problem was that teachers had no such priority; if schools closed then nursing mums stayed home to look after their own children.

I wonder how many mums or grandmas they had working on the emergency team?
