MATT Hancock’s memories of the way he handled care homes during the Covid pandemic has been condemned as a “deluded version” of events.
Nadra Ahmed, the chair of the National Care Association which represents small and medium care home providers, said the former health secretary’s account “bears no resemblance to the facts”.
She added that Hancock’s account, which has been included in extracts of his diary serialised by The Daily Mail, are words which have been “peddled” by a man who “had no awareness of social care and its value then and this demonstrates he has learnt nothing since”.
