Hancock messages “lay bare the chaos at the heart of the Govt”
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the Telegraph's reports which suggests Matt Hancock was told in April 2020 there should be "testing of all going into care homes" was rejected, Liberal Democrat Health and Social Care Spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:
“These messages lay bare the chaos at the heart of the government during the pandemic, and the mistakes that led to countless lives being needlessly lost.
“Matt Hancock’s claims to have thrown a protective ring around our care homes could not be further from the truth.
“It’s almost a year ago that a court ruled that the government unlawfully discharged people from hospitals into care homes without testing. But bereaved families are still no closer to having justice and the truth. They deserve answers through the official Covid inquiry, so we can learn lessons and save lives.”
