Nightingale Hospitals

Nightingale Hospitals are being decommissioned, is this good news, should a person die in a Warehouse?

Re: Nightingale Hospitals

Personally, I think it is too soon as I don't feel this is over yet.

On the other hand, from what I understood a while back, they were hardly used anyway.

Re: Nightingale Hospitals

I think they said the Exeter Nightingale was going to be used for screening for cancer.

Well that's good. I just hope they get the staff for it too.

They cannot win.

If you don't have any, in times of an emergency, you get shot, as a bad planner!

If you do pay out lots of money, and don't have to use them, you get shot, as a waster!

I agree with this. They did what they thought merited the situation at the time, as it was unprecedented. I, for one, am glad they did it.

Too true.
AIUI they were hardly used anyway even during the times of greatest need.

No doubt we will soon see somebody demanding an enquiry into how much these Nightingale hospitals have cost, again ignoring the fact that not only will any enquiry be hugely costly itself but that the only people who benefit are those running the enquiry.
