Nightingale hospitals being readied for use

Thanks for posting that Far North I thought I had put that on earlier but can see I didn't.Maybe more believeable from you as I'm a Nationalist and often told I what I say isn't the "truth"!

There was talk a while back about an appeal for retired medics to return to help.

Brilliant idea but then they had a mountain of red tape and paperwork to plough through first including a requirement that they were trained in ‘diversity’

This nonsense also applied to those who had volunteered to help with the vaccine rollout.

Honestly, you couldn’t make it up could you?

~The one in London has been emptied and some equipment sent to other hospitals .
There was a letter in the Times from a retired GP
who said he had waded through the mounds of bureaucracy to be offered a job as a car parking attendant !
What is wrong with the managers ?Surely all this planning should have been done much much earlier so that strategies were in place, ready to roll out as soon as the vaccine was ready.

The cost of building nightingale hospitals was 220 million!

To be clear, the development of nightingale hospitals was a political solution, not an NHS solution. Feeding ‘we can cope, this is what we are going to do’ solutions is the best way of reassuring the (largely gullible) public.

According to Matt Hancock on tv this morning, the nightingale hospitals are ready for covid patients, the covid patients in the main hospitals have underlying health conditions and they are better equipped to treat the patients there.

Yes Genty, the Nightingales can't possibly be taking the really, really sick patients or those with complex needs. Otherwise patients being moved from Kent to Exeter (5 hours on a good day) just wouldn't survive the transfer.

This nonsense also applied to those who had volunteered to help with the vaccine rollout.

Almost like needing medical professionals to understand that basing diagnoses on white men for everyone isn’t exactly safe, is a bad thing.
