Tory MP Makes Jaws Drop With Tweet About Opening Nightingale Hospitals
John Redwood doesn't appear to be aware of the long-running NHS staffing crisis.

A Tory MP has been accused of “staggering” levels of ignorance after suggesting Nightingale hospitals and the NHS could be run at full capacity with a full staff to combat the coronavirus pandemic.


John Redwood, MP for Wokingham, made the clam in a tweet on Sunday despite long-running concerns about personnel shortages in the health service.

The MP wrote: “Why not open and staff all the Nightingale hospital capacity they need for CV 19 cases and get the rest of the NHS back to full capacity for everything else?

“No need to scare us with the idea the NHS will not cope.”

According to a recent report by The Kings Fund, there is currently a shortfall of just under 84,000 workers across NHS hospitals, mental health services and community providers.

The report blamed “a prolonged funding squeeze combined with years of poor workforce planning, weak policy and fragmented responsibilities” while the Tories have been in power for the “workforce crisis”.

This has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic as frontline health workers catch Covid-19 or are forced to self-isolate. Earlier this month it was reported 30,000 NHS staff were off as the country braced itself for the second wave of the virus.

Redwood’s tweet was met with widespread disbelief.

It’s genuinely staggering & angry-making that you’re this ignorant of the vast NHS shortage of staffing. You’ve been an MP for 30 years & this is the level you’re at? (Particularly given it’s a problem that’s only increased during the past decade of your party’s tenure)

Staffed by who exactly? Last I heard there are 28,000 NHS staff off with Covid , isolating or off because children sent back from school. Where are the highly trained ICU nurses going to come from ? https://t.co/ivoZoJoyHg

Because we don't have enough trained staff due to 10 years of you underfunding the NHS, you fucking simpleton. https://t.co/hSNANjxjel
