The Sentinel
|July 03, 2025
CARE home deaths felt like a "cull of older people", the UK Covid-19 inquiry has heard as Matt Hancock defended how he handled an "impossible" situation.
-
There were tense exchanges as the former health secretary gave evidence to the wide-ranging probe.
Mr Hancock, who resigned from government in 2021, responded to an accusation he had "blatantly lied about the situation" when he told a press conference on May 15 2020: "We've tried to throw a protective ring around our care homes."
The inquiry has heard there were more than 43,000 covid deaths in UK homes between March 2020 and July 2022.
