A High Court ruling has deemed that government policies on discharging untested patients from hospitals to care homes during the start of the pandemic were ‘unlawful’. The government’s decision to discharge patients to care homes has caused ‘a shocking death toll’ as countless people have suffered as a result and although the ruling will provide closure and reignite hope for justice for thousands of families, it is not enough to rectify the wrongdoings that have taken place.
What happened in care homes at the beginning of the pandemic?
Back in early 2020, during the early stages of the pandemic, patients were discharged directly from hospitals into care homes across the country without the need for testing or any guidance on quarantining or without provision of adequate PPE.
