Taking emotion out of this Colin, discharging those patients was the correct thing to do. Once there is no further medical need for the patient to be in a hospital bed then that bed needs to be freed up for other people in need. Medical need here excludes recuperating which can be done at home. The crime for me is care homes were not checked to have adequate infection controls in place to prevent spread. Still lies at the regulatory bodies and governments door but is an important distinction
From the Collins dictionary TRANSITIVE VERB‘ If you hate someone or something, you have an extremely strong feeling of dislike for them.’TRANSITIVE VERB ‘If you say that you hate something such as a particular activity, you mean that you find it very unpleasant’I think it’s fair to say that some of the posters on this thread have adequately shown an extreme dislike to Matt Hancock. You can’t just interpret words in ways that suit agendas. Although it appears on here you can

That was unforgivable. And Hancock knew it was unforgivable, because he lied to the PM about it, and lied to the country, saying he'd put a ring of iron around care homes. He also lied later about what was known about asymptomatic transmission.
Literally no-one else using the word or the sense of the word "hate".I trust the mods are watching.
BST believe me I do agree with that, my point is only that as long as you no longer have a medical need for a bed in hospital you are discharged.
RR you have nailed one of the major systematic failings that stifles patient flow through hospitals. The lack of adequate social care means patients having to remain in a bed they don’t need. That’s the reality of the situation.
We’re constantly being told that patients are queuing up in corridors on trolleys due to the lack of beds.Could we not be using the seven ‘Nightingale Hospitals’ built to ‘house’ covid patients to ‘ease’ the current strain on NHS hospitals?Or is it not also the case that we don’t havé enough staff to nurse patients if over night we could suddenly produce another 4,000 beds?
