Community nursing faces ‘rehabilitation disaster’ as Covid leaves thousands in need

Community nursing faces ‘rehabilitation disaster’ as Covid leaves thousands in need Tens of thousands of coronavirus survivors needing long-term care are heaping pressure on Britain’s stretched community services, threatening a crisis that experts warn could dwarf that seen in hospitals over the past 12 months.

As many as 100,000 intensive care patients, including up to 15,000 Covid-19 survivors, will need long-term community nursing care after being discharged from hospitals during the past 12 months, The Independent has been told.
