Hospitals in England have been told staff will have to start wearing surgical masks, as will visitors, from 15 June

The government did not consult NHS leaders or give them notice before a decision to make all hospital staff wear surgical masks from 15 June, senior healthcare chiefs have said.

LobbyComm So?

I know the govt response to Covid appears chaotic, but I'm sure they'll have redeemed themselves by ensuring the supply chains were aware of their upcoming policy of asking 60 million people to pop out and buy a face mask or two...

Masks don't work - more harm than good, and now it's gonna come out. Backfired much?

They should not have to be told. No wonder you have an enormous death rate. How shameful.

'NHS chiefs were not consulted over need to wear face masks' I don't understand this - the NHS chiefs; aka Public Health England and the Department of Health and Social Care, are in SAGE.

Is this some kind of joke? Then the NHS Chiefs do not belong in these jobs.

I delivered this news to my health worker husband this morning. He obviously hasn’t been alert enough.

I have been going into a hospital every 3 weeks. I wear masks and gloves. So did 80 percent of staff and patients and last week nhs has masks on counter. It’s nothing new

If an arrogant but totally amateur and grossly incompetent person is given the role of the Health Secretary what else do you expect!?

The WHO is advising face masks....and so just wear them!

Your whole newspaper is currently supporting mass gatherings. Why do you care?

Just like schools were not consulted/forewarned about closing (which we didn’t) or reopening-shambolic

Gov only considers it more relevant as lockdown is eased and non-essential businesses are allowed to operate, in fear of R numbers potentially increasing, which makes the 'protect the NHS' slogan a political rhetoric NHSMillion MattHancock BorisJohnson

Fact and Fiction cannot exist in the same space or time.

The government does have 'consultation|' in its vocabulary. They are only focussed on ensuring the Tory supporting media have something for their headlines each day!! There does not seem to be any clear decision making process, but many U-turns as announcements are criticised.

Shhh, Bojo's following the science

Question Time guest says 11 weeks into lockdown NHS staff still without PPEProfessor Dame Donna Kinnair, Chief Executive and General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing also called on Black Lives Matter protesters to ensure they are wearing face masks Sorry, but I don’t believe that for one minute. If there is anyone without PPE today it’s not because it’s unavailable!!! QT is now a joke, If that’s a cross section of the mini audience then I’m missing something. Fiona Bruce listens to Lamy but as soon as Zaharia starts to speak she aggressively attracts him. The ability for the public to get a unbiased view of what’s going on is now non existent I don’t believe her
