At the start of the pandemic, private homes were screaming poverty, saying they were unable to pay for PPE which they should have had in use already for the most vulnerable.

My late mum was moved from our local hospital to a nursing home some 30 mins drive away, we weren't charged as the NHS needed the hospital bed due to the coronavirus.
We eventually got her home but as she had £3,000 more in savings she would have had to pay the £2,700 a month, after which she would have to pay something like £100 a month.
But sadly we only paid for 4 visits as she died.
It was annoying all the hoops we had to go through, and I thank my sister for doing nearly all the meetings (Skype).
