Councils are identifying accommodation that could, if required, be turned into temporary care facilities for people when they’re ready to leave hospital, to relieve pressure on the NHS.

The accommodation could also be used to temporarily house additional staff being recruited into healthcare, or staff being redeployed to frontline care roles.

New transport scheme trialled for key workers

A new on-demand subsidised taxi service is being trialled by Devon County Council to help key workers travel to and from work.

The impact of the coronavirus has seen bus companies report up to a 90% reduction in passenger numbers, leading to a drastic reduction in services and many companies only maintaining critical routes.

In order to replace those journeys previously made by bus, the County Council is introducing the “Key Cars” initiative which provides key workers with lifts to work for a subsidised flat fare.

Councillor Roger Croad, Devon County Council...
