For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's all semantics, isn't it? 'No sick person was discharged to a care home' (editorial Daily Telegraph today). Perfectly accurate. Snag is that I knew an elderly lady, who had a few waterworks problems and was otherwise healthy, who was sent by her care home to Brid. hospital to check on a slight heart abnormality and returned a day later.
You've guessed it - she had picked up Corona in hospital and died from it a couple of weeks later - so did several other inmates. She was perfectly healthy when discharged to her care home.

NHS staff visiting people in March in their homes or Private Care Homes SHOULD have had PPE. It seems reasonable to blame NHS procurement if that didn’t happen. Lack of PPE greatly increased the spread of the virus to very vulnerable elderly people, and is why our death toll exceeds neighbouring countries.
The Prime Minister blame Care Home Owners for that scenario, but the real culprits are his own Department for Health.

// Somehow I think we’d have heard about it by now if there was a diktat from the Govt forcing clinicians to discharge people.//
er yes there was
this is usual in an emergency of this size
the childrens hospital locally was closed and all beds taken up and filled by adults with COVID - that of course was following a diktat

I don’t think the tens of thousands who died met their MP or the Prime Minister.
// there was always a meeting of Nursing staff, Social workers,family members or Care Home Staff to discuss the after care. //
Even if that happened (and we have no evidence it did), they were already fatally infected with Covid-19, so unfortunately were dead meat.

I thought if someone was in a " private care home" and lets face it there arent many local authority homes, that they were responsible for supplying their own ppe, also as someone else said thats its upto hospital clinicians who got discharged back to their care home and not politicians so who knows how many have taken covid from the hospital to the care home
// Back in March, there was no tracking, no tracing, no PPE and nobody was particularly bothered.//
I wd say yeah to this - PPE I was a bit surprised - why were the 'usual measures at sterility' suddenly inadequate
and no testing - PHE then led by paul cosford I think - just said "we cant do it" and dont let anyone else do it !
and the govt seems to have said - yeah OK
so there is a bit to enquire about I suppose
but you know not millions which I wd rather see given to widows or the carers

// Would it not have made sense for all of these patients to be tested for covid-19 prior to their being discharged back into care?//
erm I am not sure if they previsaged this
when you say to a care home wd you like to have your 5 pts back they are pretty well bound to say no thank you
and there was deffo no capacity to test

Maybe Gulliver should take a leaf out of Starmer's book and keep quiet
