"We never did overwhelm the service (beds, respirators etc)"

It's a bit like saying the Y2K bug didn't exist because nothing bad happened. The NHS wasn't, on the whole, overwhelmed because a huge amount of effort was expended on creating new facilities.

However some people may have died before there was an adequate provision of ventilators and there were certainly occasions on which hospitals had to stop admitting patients because they'd reached the limits of their plumbing's ability to distribute oxygen
