@Meg_HillierMP

The Public Accounts Committee report described the govt's response to the Covid crisis in the social care sector as 'slow and at times negligent.'

Chair of PAC @Meg_HillierMP says govt didn't think about 'knock-on effect' of protecting the NHS and they should've 'acted faster.'

@rosaltmann

'It’s the result of the way we organise social care.'

Baroness @rosaltmann says that even though we knew that the frailest elderly people were 'the most vulnerable', the aim of 'protecting the NHS overtook the protection of the lives of these people.'

'They didn't care...We are still second class citizens.'

Care home owner David Crabtree says that even though care homes are doing everything they can to control the coronavirus crisis, they still feel like they are 'the neglected service.'
