You will note that almost no beds have been used in the fantastically expensive Nightingale hospitals, so there are something like 4,000 ventilated ICU beds available at all times
Wasn't that just a complete cockup - build the beds, but have no skilled staff to do anything with them - so they're completely useless. Typical government wanting to be seen to be doing something. But then it can't really be used as a measure that the normal hospitals weren't overstretched - I'm sure friends on mine working in the NHS or those waiting for postponed treatment would beg to differ.
