In 2020 we carried out a review that found EVERY initial Covid infection in our care homes could be traced back to a hospital admission. Matt Hancock should drop his bullshit and stop blaming everyone but himself. We were there, we know the truth.

Shameful that while we enjoy Christmas with our families, we think it's ok to invite people from overseas to look after our old folk, yet we expect them to leave their families behind. Do you think it's time to stop treating care workers like second class citizens?

What is the point of creating more capacity in the NHS, 7,000 more beds, without putting more money in to social care? 12,000 people currently stuck in hospital ready to leave. Why can't the government grasp this simple fact???
