Report defends creation of facility but suggests complexity of virus led to issues
Doctors and NHS bosses who ran the London Nightingale field hospital have defended its creation but admitted that it lacked the full range of medical expertise needed to treat Covid-19.
They admit that it “remains moot” whether the facility, set up last spring as a 3,500-bed critical care unit, was the best way of treating people left seriously ill by the disease or a good use of scarce NHS staff and equipment.
