Unlawful do-not-resuscitate orders may still be in place, regulator warns independent.co.uk/news/health/co…
Can there be any excuse for some of these DNACPR uses?
.@katemasters67 who threatened @MattHancock with a judicial review earlier this year told @Independent "This is not a new issue...The government need to listen to the CQC and take some action or we will just be going round in circles.”
My attempt at trying to briefly explain what a DNACPR is:
.@CareQualityComm "It is possible that in some cases inappropriate DNACPRs remain in place. We expect all care providers to assure themselves that any DNACPR decisions have been made appropriately"

Pfizer covid vaccine authorised for use in UK next week, in world first independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
The govt says the @MHRAgovuk has done a "thorough analysis" of the data on the vaccine by its experts "who have concluded that the vaccine has met strict standards of safety, quality and effectiveness".
We still dont have published trial results for this vaccine. I hope @MHRAgovuk and @DHSCgovuk publish as much info as possible. A press release isn't good enough.

Exclusive: Hospitals have been banned from launching their own coronavirus testing for staff and patients: independent.co.uk/news/health/co…
Leaked documents show the @DHSCgovuk has now imposed a cap on the level of funding to pay for Covid testing in the NHS.

In short hospitals who do their own testing without approval of the Test and Trace service wont get paid.
Staggering at a time when Test and Trace cannot meet national demand for testing and some hospitals say they can do their own local testing and have staff stuck at home unable to get tests

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked letter from CQC chief inspector to @NHSEngland reveals fear of ‘escalating’ poor care at Shrewsbury Hospital: independent.co.uk/news/health/sh…
Chief inspector Ted Baker told NHS England the CQC had no confidence in the trust to improve adding: "As the independent regulator, our only remaining option is to consider recommending trust special administration." This has not happened yet but implication clear.
