Matt Hancock certainly has a different version in his mind of how he handled care homes during the pandemic...
has been condemned as ‘deluded’ over his memory of how he handled care homes during the pandemic.
She claimed Mr Hancock’s diarised account in the Daily Mail are words ‘peddled’ by a man who ‘had no awareness of social care and its value then and this demonstrates he has learnt nothing since’.The Government decided in the early stages of the outbreak to discharge potentially infectious Covid patients from hospitals into care homes without prior testing.
Mr Hancock also suggests there was ‘scandalous’ behaviour of some care home bosses, who he claims allowed employees infected with the virus to work.In his diary entry on April 2 2020, Mr Hancock states negative tests would not be needed before patients are moved into care homes. ‘Under the circumstances, we must make sure that anyone going from a hospital into a care home is kept away from other residents. I hope this message filters through and is followed.’
