NHS Nightingale in London will be mothballed in days as success in fighting the spread of coronavirus leave the 4,000-bed hospital nearly empty.

At its peak NHS Nightingale – which has sister facilities across the UK – is believed to have only treated as many as 51 patients. However, thankfully due to the public widely adhering to the government’s social distancing guidelines this has not been the case.

What a total waste of money

This is good news ffs! It was there if we needed it and thank God we didn't. Christ, some people on here must have wanted to see it full of seriously ill people gasping their last! 🤬

I’d say a measure of success of how the disease has been contained and managed by the NHS. I suppose these people moaning don’t have insurance, waste of money eh...

You'd be the first lot calling out the government if they had not provided the Nightingales. Hypocrites all.

I’m not sure why it hasn’t been used but isn’t that a good thing? Or should we have been hoping for an “at full capacity” type update 🤷🏻‍♀️

Only an idiot would criticise the building of this as a precaution.....we have fire engines airports...but hopefully never need them....it will only be politically minded game players that will complain about wasting money etc....these hospitals were & are 1 of the success's

Waste of taxpayers money

petera1872 Complete success it was built along with the other as a precaution.

'Mothballed' I prefer to use the phrase 'it's better to have been prepared than not at all'

All white elephants at tax payers money.hancock you look a bigger c**t than you already did.

What a waste , they have built one in Jersey £14 million , due to open today , I presume that too will be mothballed,

Built for the herd immunity 🤔
