A new 4000 bed hospital. How lovely. I don't begrudge it to the people of London but the UK is bigger than one city. What about the rest of us?

And the NHS staff that can return home for days off want to do so! This isnt a short term thing

Gary Neville has done it in Manchester. Why have no London hoteliers? www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2020/0319/1124045-neville-makes-hotels-available-to-help-medical-staff/
For single NHS workers it would provide a place to stay and mean they wouldn't have to use the Tube. Even some with families might choose to stay when they are working long shifts.

Over a week ago Chelsea FC offered their Millennium Hotel which is adjacent to Stamford Bridge, to the NHS.

It will be used in the main by the nearby Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.

Some major hospitals have a massive 'catchment' area and poor ambulance provision. I hope they have made extra hospital spaces for the West Country, East Midlands, and the north of England. Rural Wales and Scotland too.

I have the same concerns as the OP.
