Amidst the carnage of COVID was a total failure of the
Government to get to grips with what was happening in care homes where
thousands did unnecessarily. I was fortunate in June 2020 to help break this
story before any other media outlet thanks to Kevin Gopal at the Big Issue
North and Sharon Reed down in Weymouth. ITV was due to break the story
nationally but, unfortunately, they had too many staff off with COVID to make
the trip down from London to the South Coast.
Here is the story.
TEST CRISIS AT CARE HOME
An experienced care home manager has attacked the government
for what she believes is a systematic, ongoing failure to develop a coronavirus
testing system for care home staff and residents.
Sharon Reed (pictured) of Weymouth’s Danmor Lodge private
care home also feels Matt Hancock and Helen Whately, health and social care
ministers, do not understand how care homes operate and have failed to defend
those working in them.
