Nightingale Hospital has turned away more patients than it has treated

That means that the hospital has rejected more patients, due to a combination of understaffing and the patients’ health, than it has treated. Of those 41 patients, four have died.

Maybe they are needed or decided to help out in their own country. Just a thought.

the 10,000 nurses left back when Tories were enraging gammons with their anti foreigner propaganda.

I don't think Galahad read his own article.

A senior official at a London trust said: “It’s a white elephant. When it was conceived a month ago we were facing the prospect of hospitals in London being overrun and mass burial sites like in New York. We thought that London would be Italy and there would be more patients needing level 3 intensive care treatment by this stage.

“But the expected doubling every three days in the number of patients needing to be admitted to ICU didn’t happen. London hospitals doubled, tripled and in some cases quadrupled the capacity of their ICUs, so still have spare capacity, which means the Nightingale hasn’t been needed.”

10,000 you say? How do you know - were you at the airport counting them back on the planes then?

Great news. Let’s hope they end up not being needed.

My point exactly. Doubtless some fools will now say we shouldn't have built them.
