Covid inquiry to look at impact on care services

The Covid inquiry begins examining the impact of the pandemic on care services for elderly and disabled individuals. Families and care staff seek answers regarding decisions like discharging hospital patients into care homes and implementing "do not resuscitate" notices, which affected care home residents during the early stages of the pandemic. Maureen Lewis, a care home manager, highlights the challenges and lack of support faced by care homes, emphasizing the need for accountability from government officials like former Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
