Covid Deaths in Care Homes

[JamesWales]

If this lot don't get the mother of all kickings at the locals next week, I ****ing give up.

And vote for who?

Here in Wales (which no one ever seems to care about weirdly, given most of us live here) it seems that we were TWO weeks behind England on this.

I wouldnt be surprised if the Welsh Government are dragged into this now

Who do you suggest?. Keep the status quo?

I'm confused. Next week it's local elections for Cardiff (and others) Council. The story here refers to the UK government, and in effect the English NHS.

The Welsh NHS is run by Labour, and it seems we were doing the same policy that is being understandably criticised here for another two weeks after England ceased doing it.

So I'm not sure who you suggest we should vote for?

Rest assured, the Tories will take a hammering and understandably so, but it appears we had an even worse policy on all this in Wales.

It is beyond me why so many on here care more about the English NHS than the Welsh.

I suggest people vote for who they like and maybe base it on local issues as it's a local election. If we must base it on national healthcare issues, the performance of the Welsh Govt would be a greater issue for me given it impacts on my life more

The Welsh Government were always going to follow Englands policy though. The reason is obvious.

Where the English NHS make mistakes there is absolutely no justification for making the same mistakes and continuing them for a further two weeks!

And on the pandemic, there are numerous examples where Drakeford's government hasn't followed the English health secretary's approach.

This isn't to take away from the mistakes made, it's to try and prevent people turning it into a political football, because it seems that our government here did the exact same thing, but carried it on even longer.

Why did nobody in government speak up about this at the time ?

I don't know, but unless someone can demonstrate otherwise, it seems they realised the error and rectified it sooner than we did here in Wales.

It's all absolutely tragic for the people involved. Suspect the Welsh Government will be next on this
