think i read NHS England started routine testing of patients being discharged to Care/Nuesing homes before any of the other UK countries .Because the decision to release 25,000 patients from hospital into care homes (without testing) came squarely from Westminster ... and as a hasty knee jerk to the goverment's concern for the numbers of NHS beds .... in the event, the Nightingale hospitals were erected and never utilised to capacity ... **** up after **** up![]()
