DID NHS MANAGEMENT DELIBERATELY SPREAD THE CORONAVIRUS ACROSS ENGLAND’S CARE HOMES?

On the 15^th April, the Daily Telegraph's Global Health Security Editor, Paul Nuki, published an article entitled:- 

“RETURN TO NORMALITY COULD TAKE FAR LONGER THAN IN 1918 BUT THE LESSONS OF THAT DEVASTATING OUTBREAK ARE STARK AND IMPORTANT”

In this article he made

the following highly alarming comment:-

“It may turn out that the spread of the virus in care homes has been "re-seeded" in the past few weeks by the aggressive discharging of patients from NHS hospital beds.

Dr Jamie Wilson, a former NHS psychiatrist and chief executive of Hometouch, a specialist care provider for the elderly, suspects many deaths reported in care homes were caused by the NHS decanting Covid-positive patients into them from mid-March.

A government document, Covid-19 Hospital Discharge Service Requirements, published on 19 March, directed that elderly hospital patients be moved into nursing homes or other social care accommodation to free up hospital capacity. Unbelievably, given how poorly equipped most nursing homes are and the unique frailty of their residents, the document states: "Some of these patients may have Covid-19, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic. All of these patients can be safely cared for in a care home if this guidance is followed."

Dr Wilson said: "To mandate that care homes should take back Covid+ patients with such a high risk of cross infection and high mortality rate in vulnerable residents seems unfathomable. Surely the sensible policy would have been to limit care home admissions and offer safer alternatives. The tragedy is that this was preventable, as there is capacity in the live-in care sector."

The live-in care sector houses vulnerable people in self-contained accommodation, often their own home, where they live alone with a single carer. Councils could have placed Covid patients in these more secure units rather than large homes but they tend to be more expensive.”

This article raises the highly significant and very disturbing question that NHS Management itself may be a key contributor to the spread of the Coronavirus! 

It may be significant, reflecting back to my previous article, that the date of the directive from the Management of NHS England is the 19^th March i.e. several days after the modelled deaths by Professor Neil Ferguson, of Imperial College London, had been dramatically reduced down to “substantially below 20,000”, but also after the Government had committed itself to the clamp-down on our rights, but had not yet fully announced Lockdown, let alone achieved the suspension of our Constitution under the Coronavirus Act.

It seems to me that there are only a limited number of explanations for the “Covid-19 Hospital Discharge Service Requirements” (here is the link >>> https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/880288/COVID-19_hospital_discharge_service_requirements.pdf )

It is worth noticing, that although the notification talks about it being issued under HM Government and “Crown Copyright”, it does not identify who has issued these regulations, i.e. the specific individuals.  Nor does the directive make clear what the legislative source of the legal validity of this directive is. 

This means that it may not be the product of a decision by an actual Minister, but it may be instead a product only of some Senior Managers within the NHS acting on behalf of the Establishment within the NHS. 

In a sense the key question is whether the authors of this directive were acting as rogue elements within the State; or as part of a concerted plan; or whether they were acting with the cynical and callous departmentalism of the sort of mentality shown by NHS Management in the South Staffordshire NHS scandal.  This was the scandal where it turned out that NHS Managers had deliberately allowed several thousand patients to die rather than to spend money on treating them.

In our situation today these Managers have had the opportunity of off-loading quite large numbers of elderly, often dementia suffering, “bed-blockers”.   This is something the NHS has long wanted to do! 

Resources have been found from the Government to pay for this.  The consequent, increased numbers of deaths amongst the very elderly, they may have thought of as being a helpful collateral consequence.

Another possibility is that it was actually Ministers who decided this.  If so, they may have wanted to add heat to the hysteria being foisted on the general public in order to justify taking such extraordinarily wide powers. 

I wonder if we will ever find the truth about this?  I also wonder whether any individuals will be held to account? 

It is worth remembering how effective the Labour Government was at preventing anybody doing anything very useful about the South Staffordshire scandal. 

It does however yet again vividly demonstrate how generally appalling the British State’s treatment of English People can actually be.  

We English really do need to purge ourselves of “Toxic” Britishness!
