Readying the NHS and social care for the COVID-19 peak

Readying the NHS and social care for the COVID-19 peak
House of Commons Public Accounts Committee 20 July 2020
  • "The Government’s “slow, inconsistent, and at times negligent approach” to social care in the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed the “tragic impact” of “years of inattention, funding cuts and delayed reforms”, leaving the sector as a “poor relation” that has suffered badly in the pandemic. The Committee is demanding from Government a “3-point plan” by September, ahead of the second wave, covering health, the economy & procurement of medical supplies and equipment."
