Sailors have been helping to ease the pressure on NHS staff in Greater Manchester over the past five weeks
Four dozen sailors from destroyer HMS Duncan and Portsmouth and Devonport Naval Bases were mobilised as part of Operation Rescript – the military response to the Covid pandemic.
They focused their efforts in five NHS trusts in Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Salford and Stockport – collectively responsible for the health of more than 1.4 million people.
