just making sure, sam uk and hear me on the left, and my on the right, do what you need to.re working. we are going to start with the mirror. whose headline reads... nhs workers plead with the government to get more kit... desperate staff have been using curtains to make their own kit. sam lister we have been hearing this day in day out that the nhs need kit. the government says they are getting to them but i suppose this front page would say where is it? absolutely this is the very human impact of the lack of ppe that doctors and nurses and other people in these high—riskjobs need. and as you say people currently resourcing to ripping off curtains to make their own ppe, a really horrible story to have to look at that. today we had the daily press conference at downing street taken by matt hancock the health secretary and it has been a recurring theme. he today talked about a herculean effort made to resolve the problem but admitted there had been challenges in getting this scare to people out in front line. but actually, 742 million pieces have been disputed already and it

sam, thank you for that. to the daily mail now, because it looks like there's been similarity with the telegraph, uk not backmal for a year says the daily mail. maia, can we live like this for a year? that's a good question. i think that all the coverage seems to have said prior to this as well while certain measures may be in place for some time it won't necessarily impact different groups of people in the same ways, and so we are all, most of us, i think, are slow going with this adjustment and not seeing friends and not going out really much at all, but i think it's worth knowing that this is worse for some people thanit that this is worse for some people than it is for others. particularly people who may be living in substandard accommodation, people have underlying health conditions, people who are older, but these are groups of people, those last two groups of people, those last two groups i mentioned, are the groups that may be will have to isolate for longer depending on what happens with the virus, so i think it's really worth thinking about that, and the impact of not going out, and their mental he

that's sam monahan, ceo of mha, a large charity provider. the foreign secretary has said that the ukackling the coronavirus and it's just too early to ease movement restrictions, which have been in place for nearly three weeks. we can speak now to the shadow health secretaryjonathan ashworth. we been listening to the foreign secretary, what did you make of what he talked about in terms of the lockdown and the inability at the lockdown and the inability at the moment to ease the restrictions? we understand why the lockdown how to continue, because it's so, so important that we delay the spread of this virus. it's about saving lives and protecting the nhs, making sure the nhs has the capacity they are to treat people if they get the virus. so if the government decides next week that it has to continue with the lockdown, and that is based on clear medical advice, then of course, we will support it. but i do think the british public who are showing tremendous resolve in following the guidelines who are at this weekend will have to make sacrifices, i think the british public need that cla

we are alsojoined by sam monaghan, who is the ceo of mha, the uks largest charitable care provider andorning both of you. first of all, i wonder how you react to these figures. they are shocking but not surprising. it's been quite obvious to most of us that there have been far more people dying within care homes than are being reported because obviously, the deaths in ca re because obviously, the deaths in care homes are not being measured and counted in the same way. it's really important that they do find a way to measure these debts and count them more quickly because we cannot ta ke them more quickly because we cannot take appropriate action if we don't know what we are dealing with and i also feel personally, bearing in mind my own experience that there will be more deaths than that that are not being recorded as covid 19 because people are not being tested. is there a way that you can see of getting more accurate figures much more quickly? well, i think one of the things is to increase testing in ca re the things is to increase testing in care homes and that's something the alzhe

let‘s speak now to sam monaghan, chief executive of mha, the largest charity care provider in uk.. even though they had not been tested. this has been on the advice of gps and public health. so some are being attributed to their deaths to covid—19 when we can‘t be sure? their deaths to covid—19 when we can't be sure? these people are displaying symptoms that are aligned with covid—19, but because the testing has been very limited so far, the only tester we have had is that those people who have gone to hospital from that those people who have gone to hospitalfrom our homes that those people who have gone to hospital from our homes at the end and died and then we have been tested, but quite a few people have gone to hospital at the end but have not been tested when they died, so we do not know but we think they may well have had covid—19, and then there is a whole range of people who die and the gps are not coming into certified the deaths, but advising us to count them as if they are suspected of having died of covid—19. the figures are really unclear at the present time and, with

sam monaghan is the chief executive of one of the largest charity care providers in the uk - mha. the figures are to weeks out of date. what is your reaction to them?” are to weeks out of date. what is your reaction to them? i think they are starting to head in the right direction. i think our experience is that we are running around 60,70, some places 80%, on a normal death rate we would its pay to see at this time of year. across the sector, i think the main bodies are putting out that they think the likely death rate is more likely ultimately to be in the region to 4000—7000 in care homes. for to 7500. it is mind blowing to try and get our heads around the statistics. those working in care homes are obviously working with incredibly difficult circumstances. there has been a lot of focus on the situation in care homes — ppe, pleasures that people are looking under—is your view that things are improving? —— the pressures that people are working on that. with ppe, we are not having to draw from the government's stockpile, but also with commercial companies, raging to pay a higher

uk, but a majority of students still remain at home. you‘ve been sending us your questions on this topic. answering them are sama rents a re what we acknowledge is that different parents are in different circumstances, so we have some pa rents circumstances, so we have some parents who are able to be at home, some who are not able to be at home to establish that. we took the approach of having asynchronous learning, which means we provide a range internet—based and internet resources , range internet—based and internet resources, but we have not set a timetable. you are nodding? as much as possible, if parents can have some sort of structure, at home for learning, that is ideal. but these are far from ideal times and sometimes your best is enough in these situations. what this whole situation is highlighted is how difficult it can be, particular for parents. you know, they have got children at home, they don't have the space to do certain things, they are working, they have children of given age groups, so it is a pressurised system for teachers, parents and children. next question, this is from georgian london

uk was for the outbreak. we are joined by chris hobson that the chief executive of nhs providers in england and by sam monaghanst majority of preparations have gone really well. we have created 3000 extra beds to treat coronavirus patients, that is the equivalent of creating 50 district hospitals. you will see the creation of the nightingale hospital is, we saw all the pictures of the chinese hospitals being built on a fortnight in the uk has done the same. it is a slight misquote, i am not saying that ppe is hand to mouth, what i am saying is the areas we mouth, what i am saying is the areas we represent is the vast majority of the ppe items they need are arriving on time afteran the ppe items they need are arriving on time after an initial hiccup. sorry, the quote... chris... sorry to interrupt, let me read to you, because it is a full quote. it says, it has all been a bit hand to mouth, the heart of the problem is getting back to stock that was ordered weeks ago from china is proving somewhat erratic. it then talks about checks being made in china, checks that have to be made here, the fact it is not flowin
