I’ve just googled it and it seems you are correct :-

GP surgeries are not part of the NHS in the way hospitals are. Most surgeries are still small businesses. In most cases the doctors own or rent their premises, they employ and pay their own staff and have all the usual responsibilities of running a business in addition to their work as doctors.
 
Wasn't that part of that deal a few years back where they worked half the time, got twice the money and no more weekend work?

Patients were sent back to care homes yes. They were sent to those which had the facility to quarantine them from the rest of the care home community and these were given additional funding. The issue was as you say was with staff, in particular nurses, who bounced from one car home to another. It is a legal duty for these places to have a qualified nurse on duty at all times. This was often fulfilled by NHS nurses working additional shifts or agency staff covering more than one home. I suspect that when we have the inevitable enquiry into Covid, the one main outcome will be that our wonderful NHS staff were all not quite as wonderful as we are led to believe.

In my opinion if they have the power to close all business then they have the power to close off care homes.

I can just about forgive them for sending old folk home at the peak of 1st lockdown. A big part of why we are locked up is to protect these people and it's smashing its way through the care homes.

Does not sit right to me. Pay people to live on site and test people before they visit.

Family member is going into a carehome this week. She will have to quarrenteen for a week but a care assistant can just walk on in and pass out death sentences. It is rather concerning.

Got it in one. The source of the majority of the issues in Care Homes which is still happening in Scotland. Add to that the fact that tests are not 100% accurate and.........

^^^^^^^^^^ Are you two serious.....?? WTF....????.

The most disrespectful and horrible post I’ve read on these pages. You have zero idea of what the job entails, what pressures they’re under, the shortages they face and the sacrifice needed to do what you two so flagrantly take for granted and think is the right for people.

Why don’t you two do the job, even for a day.....you wouldn't last a day. Shameful posts. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Have responded to your PM. For those who should not be party to what we have spoken between us, I do the job, I deal with Covid every day in many situations. I came out of retirement to do just that, putting myself at risk every day whilst waiting for the jab which I will hopefully get next month.

The extra 1% is to account for those of us who have had the jab and as a result grown additional body parts :lol:

I’m sure you’ve offended a few in the southern states with your Yank comment!

Ron, if that’s the worst offence [ref]Flyingfifer[/ref], has caused in this thread alone then he’s laughing :thumbsup:
 
I did see a Northumbrian piper some years ago playing “Marching through Georgia “ supposedly welcoming a group from the southern states- he was firmly rebuked with “that’s a Yankee song” !
 
Interesting that everyone I have spoken to who had the Oxford jab, have been ill to some extend. Whilst those with the Pfizer jab, have generally been fine.

Most definately will be seeing if I can get the Pfizer one when it is my turn.

My wife had the AZ last week and was violently ill for several days. I had it two days ago and had about 24 hours of aches and pains.

Both of us are feeling much better now.

I was ill but passed within a few days and feel fine now.

I’ve written this somewhere before on one of the threads but unless it’s one of the major vaccination centres it’ll not be the Pfizer one. The rule of thumb they pretty well gave me was if it’s a medical centre or a GP it’ll be the AZ one.
 
Not nice to look forward to the second jab though, but I guess everyone would be picking the best vaccines if there was a choice.

Our local one seems to do both. A couple I spoke to today had AZ and Pfizer, the wife with AZ was ill, the husband with Pfizer was absolutely fine.

My mother in law fortunately had the Pfizer one as well so had no side effects.
