FAMILIES whose relatives died from Covid in care homes are suing the Government for failing to protect their loved ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A group of 30 claims \u2013 which are being managed concurrently \u2013 blames ministers including Matt Hancock for failing to stop the virus entering elderly homes at the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They have filed claims for loss of life, personal injuries, pain and suffering, anxiety, distress and feelings of injustice.<\/p>\n

The cases allege the government\u2019s decision in March 2020 to rapidly discharge hospital patients into care homes without testing put OAPs at risk.<\/p>\n

Last year the High Court ruled the policy was unlawful as it failed to consider that Covid could be transmitted by people without symptoms.<\/p>\n

Representing the families, Emma Jones, partner at Leigh Day solicitors, said: \u201cWe hope that through bringing these cases there will be a full and thorough investigation into the deaths, which might help our clients to feel they have obtained justice for their loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

But almost 20,000 care home residents in England and Wales died of Covid between March and June 2020.<\/p>\n

A Department of Health spokesman insisted: \u201cWe provided billions of pounds to support the sector, including on infection and prevention control, free PPE and priority vaccinations, with the vast majority of eligible care staff and residents receiving vaccinations.\u201d<\/p>\n
