Use emergency parliamentary legislation to bring private hospital facilities into the use of the NHS to help deal with the COVID19 outbreak
More details
Because the NHS can’t do this with funding alone. The government has starved the NHS for years and now it’s on its knees will demand this mammoth effort. Once this is done you can be sure they will have no gratitude but we need to help the NHS through this and use the 8000 urgent care beds in the private system to do that.
