Families ask why untested hospital patients were sent to care homes at the start of the pandemic.
Families of Northern Ireland care home residents want to know why hospital patients were admitted to homes without being tested for Covid-19.
"I do feel there were failings that could have been been prevented and that people's loved ones could still be alive today had it been handled in a much more safe, effective and efficient manner." "What is the guidance for homes accepting discharges from hospital? Is there an expectation that these patients are tested for Covid-19 before they are discharged?"
Some of them said they recall a chaotic time when they had to use their own common sense about what was the best action to take when they received discharges. Some care home managers relayed to me on Wednesday that they knew routine testing of patients was not really happening 100%. "I was getting lots of calls from members expressing concern about the pressures they felt under to take in discharges from hospitals," she said.
