So disappointing to read these comments from the PM. Highlights real lack of awareness of the care sector & the considerable challenges & pressures it faced. @SomersetCouncil is enormously proud of & grateful for the efforts made by local care providers https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-coronavirus-care-home-death-toll-uk-update-a9604426.html

We have seen and heard first hand the issues obtaining PPE, and the ongoing testing frustrations. Our homes and homecare providers have worked tirelessly to support and care for their residents and clients in a situation like no other before, with pressures from all sides.

The dichotomy between the portrayal of the NHS & Social Care has never been so starkly evident as it has during this pandemic. Claps vs blame; Good vs bad; saints vs sinners. Please PM, spend a day in the shoes of a care worker before dismissing so carelessly their contributions
