Discharging untested patients from hospitals to care homes during the Covid crisis was the “least worst decision”, the former health secretary Matt Hancock has told a public inquiry.
In his testimony to the UK Covid-19 inquiry on Wednesday, Hancock defended the decision – which was later ruled illegal in a high court judgment – to move hospital patients into care homes during the early weeks of the pandemic to free up space.
“Nobody has yet provided me with an alternative that was available at the time that would have saved more lives,” he said. “I still can’t see a decision that would have been less bad. None of the options were good. It was the least worst decision that could have been taken at the time. While I wish there had been a better option, I still can’t find one.
“The likelihood of things being worse if people had stayed in hospital was very high.”
Nicola Brook, a solicitor representing more than 7,000 people from Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK, said Hancock’s words were “an insult to the memory of each and every person who died”.
“He knew at the time that many care homes did not have the ability to isolate the people who would be discharged from hospital and that Covid was airborne,” she said. “It’s frankly ridiculous and insulting that he says they tried to throw a protective ring around care homes when his department’s policies caused Covid to spread like wildfire amongst society’s most vulnerable loved ones.”

Here in the US Pres. Trump has CMS change its Medicare regs to allow residential care facilities the ability to refuse to take back sick patients.
He did that in mid March of 2020.
In May, Cuomo in NYS ordered them sent back anyway.
The facilities submitted.
Why did Cuomo order it?
Why did facilities submit?
Even in the old days doctors knew to isolate smallpox patients from non-smallpox patients.

The Nazis called them useless eaters. A term that has come back into use by the Left.
Had to get those death rates up to support the mRNA propaganda.
And don’t forget the money part of that whole fiasco. A lot of bad people made tons of money from every death
Just the inner Cuomo mass murderer in him.
Boris Johnson and his entire cabinet should be hanging from lampposts by their broken necks. But that’s just my outdated sense of justice.
