Original: matt hancock
The UK Covid-19 inquiry has concluded that care home residents were treated as an afterthought during the pandemic, a finding with direct implications for Matt Hancock, who was Health Secretary at the time. Critics say the verdict undercuts his repeated claims that a protective ring was thrown around care homes. The Telegraph reported the finding, prompting renewed debate about ministerial responsibility for the discharges of hospital patients into care settings in 2020.
Why now: The inquiry's critical finding puts fresh scrutiny on Matt Hancock's handling of care homes during the pandemic.
