Yes it did.Because our public services are not sufficient to deal with a lockdown, patients removed from hospitals and treatments put off so the main hospitals could deal with covid.
All along the nightingale hospitals with non specialist medical staff sat empty, a health secretary with a brain would have utilized them for non covid care once it was clear they were not needed.
Lockdown didn't kill them a failiure of common sense and governance did.
People didn’t go in for checks out of fear, that contributed massively.
