Hancock cancelled contract for 8,000 private hospital beds as NHS facing overwhelming Covid-19 surge
Another smug Tory incompetent: how will Matt Hancock justify his latest catastrophic blunder?
What does it take to make an incompetent Conservative minister resign?
In Matt Hancock’s case, how many excess deaths? How many failures to order adequate equipment? How many dodgy contracts with Tory donors and friends of cabinet members?
Here’s his latest blunder – and it’s a doozy:
Desperate health chiefs have been barred from using thousands of emergency private hospital beds because Matt Hancock failed to renew vital contracts.
The astonishing blunder by the Health Secretary means the struggling NHS has been denied access to 8,000 much-needed extra beds as it faces being overwhelmed by Covid admissions.
Last night a record 37,475 people were in hospital in England with the virus – a third of total capacity.
Tonight a critical care unit nurse said: “It’s pure incompetence.”
It is.
But he remains Boris Johnson’s Health Secretary, in defiance of logic, endangering all our lives.
Of course, some might say that he should never have paid for those beds in the first place…
Govt should not be paying for private beds, staff & equipment. It should take them in national interest
Private hospitals are making huge profits from govt pandemic money. They benefit from NHS Accident & Emergency, intensive care & nurse & doctor training
Time to pay back NHS. https://t.co/dVKIWPHO2h

They want to show how the NHS isn’t coping and we really should go over to insurance policy unum has been waiting for that day but to ask a Tory to run the country and his only concern is how quick they can pinch the peasants pot remember how much tax does a good Tory pay hardly nowt it’s in offshore accounts while we put into that pot
Well what would you expect from a right wing c**t ?? don’t know anything.. can’t do owt right.. but still gets paid for his absolute crappinese…
Hancock didn’t make a mistake by cancelling the contract for using 8,000 private hospital beds! It is just another fascist tory policy because no way should our public money be wasted on purchasing private hospital beds. Us peasants needing urgent health care can pay and if we can’t we can die!
Don’t worry though the fascist tories ensure their health care needs are catered for because they have special contracts with their private healthcare bros!
Remember once upon a time many decades ago – government was supposedly acting for the people and could be held to account when the boys failed to uphold this policy! Now government means promoting and supporting male owned corporate businesses and ensuring these male owned corporations increase their huge profits by exploiting us disposable labour slaves!
And don’t expect the labour party to hold Hancock and his master little fascist dictator dick johnson to account because Starmer is another fascist tory!
Could it be that he suspects they couldn’t cope, and that people could compare the death rates and perhaps find the private sector wanting. Bet they don’t have Intensive care units!
