You Have To Laugh
Or cry may be at some of the statements Matt Hancock comes out with. They are now going to close most of the nightingales in April, he says that these hospitals have played a critical role. My question , how can staff less empty hospitals have played a critical role? I'm confused.
Answers
No doubt Stanley Johnson ,or someone related to Matt Hanckock, owned the land or had shares in the Company who built them.

One of the nightingale hospitals is being put to good use, maybe others will follow.

You've singled out Hancock Teacake and maybe he's not been the best for this crisis but your criticsms never seem to extend to the Scottish or Welsh goverments who also had Nightingales (tho may have been called something else in Scotland.

They werent all 'staff less'. Some were staffed and played an important role, maybe hard to justify the term critical, but important yes. They might of been 'critical' if cases were higher but fortunately were'nt . They were critical in terms of peace of mind. You criticized for underplanning on PPE and criticize for overplanning on contingencies for beds/wards.
Cant be bothered wasting time for you looking for links except to say danny's already did one, one was used for flu jabs and one for vaccinne testing and according to the Metro a few months ago "As of December 30, MailOnline reports that 28 Covid patients are currently receiving treatment at Exeter’s Nightingale hospital." and
"just over 50 were treated at NHS Nightingale Hospital London and just over 100 at Manchester."

o god I have said this before. They aren't and were never intended to be "real" hospitals. They were designed and built to be giant ITU units where the minimum number of specialist staff could use untrained or non specialist teams to manage the maximum number of intubated patients in case the worst happened. They don't have the usual catering and bathroom facilities of hospitals because intubated patients don't need them. They were a worst case scenario and we should all be down on our knees thanking god (other deities are available or none if you prefer) that they weren't needed.
TC: "So no one knows then how these staff less hospitals played a critical role??" - I know and I explained above, there primary function was to act as spare capacity should the NHS get overwhelmed. If they had not been there and the NHS was indeed overwhelmed then you'd have been having a gammon moment about that.
