The report says the Department of Health and Social Care decision to discharge 25,000 hospital patients into care homes without ensuring they'd been tested for the virus was an example of the government's"slow, inconsistent and at times negligent" approach to social care.Is Europe set for a coronavirus second wave?

He added:"I accept that we need to look back and we need to learn lessons, of course with hindsight there are things we could have done differently. Details of what will be done to ensure the needs of social care are given as much weight as those of the NHS The report also identifies a further lack of transparency around the availability of personal protective equipment , citing a tendency for the government to"over promise and under deliver".

What you should have done the first time was... leave people in primary hospitals... enable effective triage of patients... use the RAINBOW hospitals for covid patients!!! Simple. You avoid further contamination of communities. Other services can continue with less disruption. Absolutely and it's appalling
