Yes, apparently by refusing to treat desperately ill people now likely to die from what could have been treated illness such as cancers. If they were so sure about this second wave coming and so concerned about this 'over running the NHS why didn't they increase capacity.

cheekychappy Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Defence Medical Services The DMS is staffed by around 12,100 service personnel (8,100 regular and 4000 reserve) and 2,500 civilian personnel and provides healthcare to 135,360 UK Armed Forces personnel (as at 1 Oct 2020: The UK armed forces quarterly service personnel statistics). Why are the army not running the Nightinggale hospitals for covid only and leaving and freeing up the NHS for normal service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 There was a good doctor on TV this afternoon saying that intensive care units were for all people needing that level of care. Road accident victims, people with strokes, people who's operations didn;t go as planned because the reality it that happens. Once one covid patient enters the ward it goes on lockdown and all the others are excluded. Then the staff are trying to phone round to try and find a bed for the others and the evidence is those places are hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
