A care boss has spoken about the "catastrophic consequences" of patients in Wales being discharged into homes without a Covid test - as UK Government's approach was ruled "unlawful".
Today the High Court ruled that UK Government policies on discharging untested patients from hospital to care homes in England at the start of the Covid pandemic were unlawful.
Lord Justice Bean and Mr Justice Garnham found the decisions of the then health secretary Matt Hancock to make and maintain a series of policies contained in documents issued in March and April 2020 were unlawful because the drafters of those documents failed to take into account the risk to elderly and vulnerable residents from non-symptomatic transmission.
