Furious care homes bosses accuse ‘cowardly’ Boris of ‘rewriting history’ after he blamed them for coronavirus deaths
FURIOUS care-home bosses have accused “cowardly” Boris Johnson of “rewriting history” after he blamed them for coronavirus deaths.
He said: “To be honest with you, if this is genuinely his view, I think we're almost entering a Kafkaesque alternative reality, where the Government sets the rules, we follow them, they don't like the results, they then deny setting the rules and blame the people that were trying to do their best. “To get a throwaway comment almost glibly blaming the social care system and not holding your hands up for starting too late, doing the wrong things, making mistake after mistake is frankly unacceptable.”, which failed to combat the spread of the virus.
"Government guidance has come to the sector in stops and starts - with organisations grappling with over 100 pieces of additional guidance in the same number of days, much of which was not accompanied by an understanding of the operational implications of operating care services.The Independent Care Group said the vast majority of providers had "done their absolute best in the face of slow and conflicting advice".
