England hospital regions:
Despite both Hancock and the BBC saying repeatedly in the past hour that there are MORE than 12,000 in hospital and that is too high. It is in fact untrue.
It was NOT 12,000 yesterday as I posted here then and is today even further down and only just over 10,000.
It does worry me that our health secretary and national broadcaster are happy to quote inaccurate data.
UK total Patients : - England 8594 + Wales 891 + Scotland 666 + N Ireland 242 Total: 10,393
UK total ventilators :- England 1417 + Wales 42 + Scotland 64 + N Ireland 27 Total 1550
