Session 4: Impact on the population 1 - Disability and social care in the pandemic
Watch session 4 (Wednesday 7 April) again: In this session, we're looking at why were Covid-positive patients discharged into care homes on three separate occasions? Was the UK social care sector well-equipped to meet the pandemic, and could nothing more have been done to enable social care workers to protect both themselves and those depending on their care?
