This sets out the facts about government’s progress in preparing the NHS and social care for the COVID-19 outbreak, with a focus on:
- actions set out in the 17 March letter to the NHS, and the 15 April action plan for adult social care. It also describes what is currently known about additional funding for health and adult social care;
- actions taken at a national level by those responsible for coordinating health, adult social care and local government in England; and
- the period from the start of the outbreak to at least the end of April, when the government announced that the UK was “past the peak”.
