Because the NHS is already short of nurses and doctors so couldn't really spread them out any more thinly by moving some of them to new hospitals.
It was, like a fair amount this Gov did (and I'm usually a tory), more hot air and publicity bluster than something which was actually going to make a difference.
They do seem to be responding a lot better with the new HS compared to his predecessor who I never really liked. Javid seems to be more proportionate and considered in his actions and considers more than the "OMG we must get rid of covid" stance. I just wish they would mandate WFH as it's a lot more effective than the things they have done (aside from the travel controls, but they're little use if as is suspected there is community spread now).
