Britain had no strategy to safeguard the most susceptible from COVID-19 and the choice to send out clients from healthcare facility into care houses without being checked for the infection caused the illness dispersing like wildfire, Prime Minister Johnson’s previous leading consultant stated.
Dominic Cummings informed a parliamentary committee that health minister Matt Hancock stopped working to honour a guarantee that individuals would be evaluated prior to they were sent out into care houses to maximize health center beds to avoid wards being overwhelmed.
Hancock stated in 2015 the federal government had actually tossed a “protective ring around” care houses at the start of the pandemic.
” Hancock informed us in the Cabinet Space that individuals were going to be evaluated prior to they returned to care houses,” Cummings stated.
” We just consequently discovered that had not taken place. Now, all the federal government rhetoric was we put a guard around care houses and blah – it’s total rubbish. Rather the reverse of putting a guard around care houses, we sent out individuals with COVID back to care houses.”
Countless senior clients in Britain were released from health centers to care houses, a number of them without being checked for COVID-19, to maximize health center beds at the start of the pandemic.
The widely-criticised policy was blamed for more than 25,000 individuals passing away from the infection in care houses in Britain.
” I make sure some individuals were checked,” Cummings stated. “However undoubtedly lots of, lots of people who need to have been checked were not evaluated and after that returned to care houses and after that contaminated individuals, and after that it spread out like wildfire inside the care houses.”
