This new edition was published during a period of change. At the time of publication (June 2014), HSE and local authorities investigate serious worker and resident incidents. Under the Enforcing Authority Regulations, HSE regulates homes with nursing and local authority owned or run care homes. Other homes are regulated by local authorities.
However, from 1st April 2015 the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England became the lead investigator of incidents where residents have been harmed because of unsafe or poor quality care.
March 11: Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jenny Harries said wearing a face mask is “usually quite a bad idea” and “doesn’t help.”
April 2: NHS rules on discharging hospital patients to care homes stated that “negative tests are not required prior to transfers/admissions into the care home.”
then, a volte-face:
April 15: The government announced all patients discharged from hospitals into care homes would be tested.

Why make way for young people if all they do is congregate in their hundreds or thousands.
Send the covidiots to old people's homes.
