I stressed that the priority of private companies is to make a profit and that Integrated Care Systems (ICS) are a scheme that incentivise reduced care, referencing Panorama’s documentary about Operose Health exposing use of cheaper less qualified staff.

I asked if Board would commit to:

The Cargill plant is set to open today...despite serious worker’s safety concerns and a legal action to stop its planned opening.

As of now, nearly half of the workers at the Cargill plant - 917 of 2,000 - have tested positive for the COVID-19.
Much is the same at the JBS plant in Brooks, which continues to be open despite repeated calls to close down. Together, there are more than 1500 positive COVID-19 cases tied to the outbreaks at these plants, two workers have died and at least five others are in the ICU.
