I’m really pleased to say that following our Newsnight investigation Public Health England has apologised for this email and said that the home will receive tests “straight away” https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1253312646331412483

Though this is great news, I worry it matches a pattern I’ve heard about from other care homes: those who push back and kick up a fuss get the tests. It’s also a patchwork atm with different councils taking matters into their own hands. Clearly neither is v satisfactory.

For more info on this and the real scandal that is what’s going on in the completely forgotten domiciliary care, read this thread and/or watch my report from last night’s @BBCNewsnight https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1253435924840660992?s=21 https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1253435924840660992
