ITV released an investigation today that despite what the Government say, it was always there plan to discharge patients to care homes and prebooked 1800 beds at the outset to do just that

Astonishing episode of Today in Focus about the care home crisis https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2020/may/28/the-scandal-of-covid-19-in-care-homes
Zero help from the Government at the crucial stage. Zero advice, nothing.

At this time Covid patients were actively being discharged en mass to care homes elsewhere.
Unbelievable
