A covid request is listening

The assertion of a civil servant that in the early days of the pandemic was observed “a massacre of generations” is a phrase that “branches with the experience of thousands of our families,” the heavy investigation heard.

Pete Weterby, a lawyer of a group of dead dead families in the field of campaign, said that this phrase may seem an exaggeration, but she emphasized issues that the investigation should solve.

His introductory application was on the first day of the sixth part of the damned investigation, which will be focused on the influence of the pandemic on the services for the care of the elderly and the disabled.

The government said that it was committed to the study of lessons from the investigation.

According to Weuterbi, the senior public servant Alasseir Donaldson made a comment on the edition of generations in his written evidence for the investigation.

The data of Donaldson also describe “full chaos” in the Ministry of Health and Social Assistance, when he began working there in April 2020, shortly after the beginning of the pandemic.

Mr. Weterby called on the investigation to call Donaldson to personally testify.

In the period from March 2020 to January to January, about 46,000 inhabitants of the house with Covid in England and Wales, many of which in the first weeks of the pandemic.

Key questions that families hope for the request will answer why the decision was made in March 2020 to quickly release some hospital patients into houses.

They partially accuse of this in the first weeks of the pandemic in the first weeks of the pandemic.

There are also questions about the blanket of “not reanimating” notifications posted on some inhabitants of the house with medical services and about visiting a policy that prevented families from seeing their loved ones for several months.

The hearing began with the testimony of people who lost loved ones during the pandemic.

Anne from Wales told the project “every story” “every story” that her father, who had dementia, lived in a care house when he ended up in a pandemic.

When the visits were limited, “he did not understand why we were outside his window,” she said.

He became increasingly confusing, with tears and begged that he was allowed to die.

When he eventually died, Anne talked about his death on the phone in the middle of the night.

Julie from Yorkshire said that she would “never reconcile” with how her mother died – she calmed down and alone.

“There are so many of us who will never move on. It will be with us for the rest of my life, ”she said.

And she added: “Everything should change. This is not right – you should have death in dignity. ”

Nicky Hastya personally attended the investigation on Monday, squeezing the photograph of her mother Margaret.

Nicky says that she noticed that her mother was dying of Covid from the video call before the employees noticed, and described this time as “traumatic”.

“She did not die with dignity, and there was no mitigation for her pain and suffering,” she said to BBC News.

Investigation lawyer Jacqueline Kary K.K. He established the scale of the hearing, a warning that this section will undoubtedly be “emotional and disappointing for many people participating and following these trials.”

M -with Kary also emphasized every story, as for the testimony of care workers.

She quoted the employee in the house in Darema, who described how the virus “spreads as a forest fire.”

“At some point, 67 out of 87 residents gave a positive result, as well as a high percentage of our staff.

“We were all horrified that we would send the virus home to our families,” said the care worker.

In particular, the Carey said that the investigation would investigate the non -staffing in the housing houses and the difficult situation of care workers, many of which were on the national minimum wage, as well as the working people.

Even before the pandemic, the state of the departure sector was “fragile,” said Carey Listening.

The Covid testing procedure was extremely limited, especially at the beginning of the pandemic, where testing was limited to people who had symptoms.

The request will also consider the shortage of individual protective equipment (PPE) in care houses.

Not only was it very difficult to receive the supply of PPE, there were problems with whether the employees were trained to use it, and when he finally arrived, some of them did not fit for the goal, for example, belts that continued to break.

It is expected that this part of the investigation will last five weeks.

He will hear evidence from relatives, disabled people, associations of care workers and organizations representing medical service providers, as well as trade unions and local self -government.
