Johnson is under fire for his Care Home comments where he is trying to shift blame for the amount of deaths.. Funny that considering that when asked about the governments handling of the situation he said now is not the time or the place to be apportioning blame... until it suits him of course
Boris Johnson is under fire after appearing to blame care home owners for the huge death toll from coronavirus in their properties.
“We discovered too many care homes didn’t really follow the procedures in the way that they could have,” the prime minister claimed – after being asked about the reasons for almost 20,000 fatalities.
But Vic Rayner, executive director of the National Care Forum, said: “Care providers have moved to adopt these new procedures consistently, at pace and with integrity.”
And Mike Padgham, head of the Independent Care Group (ICG), said: “We should not be getting into the blame game and it is wrong to criticise care and nursing homes at this time.”
More than half of care homes in England have been hit by Covid-19, according to official estimates, with one in five residents infected and 7 per cent of staff.
Anger has grown over the decision to discharge 25,000 hospital patients who had not been tested, fuelled by health secretary Matt Hancock’s notorious claim to have “thrown a protective ring” around them.
