UK Covid death toll

[JOK]

*If* a proper Inquiry is ever made into the instutional handling of Covid 19 I suspect the NHS won't come out of it well.

The NHS or the Minister for Health?

 Is it the fault of the Minister if clinical hospital staff do not adhere to standard  hygiene protocols or fail to wear PPE correctly?
Is it the minister’s fault that hospital management fail to ensure anti bac stations aren’t topped up?

Is it the minister’s sole responsibility to ensure individual hospitals adhere to basic food hygiene measures?

Is the minister complicit with staff at Stafford hospital where “patients had been left "sobbing and humiliated" by uncaring staff.” And “ left in soiled sheets, others crying out in pain and some so dehydrated they drank from flower vases.”

Has the minister made “avoidable medical errors” and negligence? Did he instigate the “high levels of bullying, harassment, discrimination and stress”? Was he solely to blame for the near 1900 “potentially” avoidable baby deaths, stillbirths and brain damage at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS trust.

Did he let a woman in childbirth bleed to death?

Did the minister personally employ Ian Patterson and allow him to mutilate hundreds of women needlessly?

Governments can’t be held responsible for every minute detail.  NHS staff are truly brilliant people, as a whole, but they are not all infallible. Should there be an enquiry, I believe we would find not every death was down to government action or inaction.  
 
Although none of the above can be attributed to it, I expect the usual candidate’s ad nauseum mantra, “ten years of Tory cuts” and “Austerity”.
