The Nightingale hospitals are barely used because we dont have the staff to make the operate. Brexit and our stance towards being anti-foreigner meant that many EU citizens returned home.

Well last time NHS staff were asked if they wanted to be seconded to work in the Nightingale hospitals. so basically it's creating extra beds and spreading the existing staff ever more thinly. Â Sounds like Jeremy Hunt and his '7 day NHS' again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's a shower isn't it? Press conference expected at 4 but a few weeks ago it kept getting delayed. My OH will go ballistic if Strictly is delayed😄  Maybe they should just do like Escape from New York and not let anyone in or out of London. They are now speculating that people leaving London could be spreading the new variant around.  Some sort of Berlin wall type structure, Trump should have plenty of unused bricks to sell us.
