Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to use hotels to treat patients with COVID-19.
There are no plans to use hotels for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
The National Health Service currently reports that hospital bed capacity is sufficient to manage the demand from COVID-19 patients.
The Department continues to work with the hotel sector to support the effort to tackle COVID-19 through provision of accommodation for key workers.
