Private beds to be used for coronavirus sufferers as NHS feels strain

The Telegraph  

The NHS is preparing to commandeer private beds for the treatment of coronavirus patients to help it cope with the worsening crisis, it has emerged. “Talks are taking place at both local trust and national level about the possibility of providing beds.” The source added: “It’s too early to say at this stage how many beds would be made available, but NHS England is developing a programme on this.” It is understood the discussions may lead to a deal allowing the NHS to buy services more quickly from the private sector should demand surge. Other options being discussed are thought to include the NHS sending more people to private providers for planned operations, to free up its own capacity; the private sector stepping in to help in places where NHS services have been hit by demand and staff shortages or taking non-complex coronavirus patients who need hospital beds. Several clinicians have called for the NHS to have use of private beds for the treatment of coronavirus patients as a matter of urgency, ahead of the anticipated steep rise in the number of cases.
