Where are the nightingale hospitals?

[foodtoorder]

Forgive me for being ignorant (particularly as I work for the health service) but where are the nightingale hospitals?
If we are in such desperate need to protect the NHS by having tier 4 and restrictions all round then shouldn't these be in action by now?

Am I being naive?

Ours was the sports hall of a secondary school. Not going to be back out again as long as schools are open.

They could surely be utilised better- there must be some class of patients in acute hospitals who could safely be moved there to free up space, and needing less specialised staff to work in them.

No most don’t have facilities for ‘ordinary care’. These days there are very few patients in hospitals who don’t need the care of highly trained nursing staff. An echoing chamber for 200 beds isn’t an ideal environment for a confused elderly person. Disastrous in fact.
