Boris should have acted quicker on this danger

BORIS Johnson claims lessons will be learnt but throughout this that has never really been the case.

After a summer of banging the drum speculating about an increase in the number of deaths during winter what adequate forward thinking, planning and organisation was carried out by government ministers, NHS England, chief medical officers and chief scientists? It would appear nothing, as hospitals became overwhelmed.

The Prime Minister is not solely responsible for the health and welfare of the people but his indecision has contributed to this sad state of affairs.
