‘Reckless’ to discharge people to care homes without Covid tests
Northern Ireland’s commissioner for older people has blasted as “reckless” cases during the pandemic where people were discharged to care homes without being tested for Covid-19.
Eddie Lynch said it was a “serious concern” among both the families of patients and care providers.
He also called for better understanding surrounding restrictions on families visiting their loved ones in care homes at points during the pandemic, describing the situation as “devastating”.
