On the latest figures my understanding is that 69 people have died within the NHS of coronavirus and I don\u2019t have the precise figure for care homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking later Mr Hancock later clarified that the government\u2019s tally of care workers to have died was 15.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number of social care staff who have sadly died is 15,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in the same way that we pay tribute to and remember all those NHS staff who died, so too we do for those who serve our country and look after people in social care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The platform Nursing Notes, which is run by nurses, reported earlier this week that 100 NHS and care staff have died as a result of the virus \u2013 a toll running well ahead of the official figures.<\/p>\n<p>That data is collated by tracking reported individual deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives of intensive care staff warned at the weekend that the critical shortage of PPE could lead to some clinicians refusing to continue working on the front line.<\/p>\n<p>The Royal College of Nursing has called for financial support for the families of workers who have died on the front line, and told its members they could refuse to treat patients if they don\u2019t have the right protective equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The RCN and unions representing health workers have also called for a minutes silence to mark the deaths.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE FROM SOURCE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/politics\/coronavirus-nhs-uk-death-toll-government-latest-a9477921.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/politics\/coronavirus-nhs-uk-death-toll-government-latest-a9477921.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Covid-19 outbreak has so far killed 69 NHS workers and 15 care workers, the government has annou..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":143526,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-143525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
