NHS was at risk of being overwhelmed 7 months ago but it wasn't could that have been because action was taken? My main criticism of Boris isn't that he does the wrong thing but that he does the right thing weeks too late. He wants to be loved so he dithers about imposing harsh measures and tries to make sure he's got a scapegoat lined up.
The private care home industry is a very lucrative business. How much did the government pay out to off load new inmates at short notice??? It seems to me the owners were more than happy at the time to grab the money.
