The Chief Executive of the NHS Confederation which represents the healthcare system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland says the Government mustn’t wait to implement ‘Plan B‘ winter measures, including vaccine passports and mask mandates, but should bring them into force right away instead. In fact, he believes the current Covid figures warrant “Plan B Plus”. The Guardian has the story.
Infections have been rising sharply since the start of October but the Government is resisting introducing the extra restrictions set out in its winter plan such as masks, vaccine passports and advice to work from home. …
Downing Street said it was keeping a “very close eye” on the situation. But Matthew Taylor, Chief executive of the NHS Confederation… said immediate action was required to prevent the NHS “stumbling into a crisis” where the elective care recovery would be jeopardised.
Taylor said: “We are right on the edge – and it is the middle of October. It would require an incredible amount of luck for us not to find ourselves in the midst of a profound crisis over the next three months.
“The Government ought to not just announce that we’re moving to Plan B, but it should be Plan B Plus. We should do what’s in Plan B in terms of masks… working from home, but also we should try to achieve the kind of national mobilisation that we achieved in the first and second waves, where the public went out of their way to support and help the health service.” [Does he mean by avoiding the health service?]
Ministers should encourage the public to do their bit by using the NHS responsibly, looking out for neighbours, volunteering or even re-entering the healthcare workforce, Taylor added.
“We need that same sense of pulling together over the next few months, trying to avoid risky behaviour if it’s not necessary. This is not a question of if we don’t do it something might happen. If we don’t do it, it would take a miracle for us not to find ourselves in the midst of a really profound crisis in our health and social care system over the next three months.” …
Scientists are also urging ministers to introduce Plan B. Professor Christina Pagel of UCL said: “We are now seeing cases and hospital admissions rising steadily and an out of control epidemic within schools. The Government must switch to its Plan B immediately and accelerate roll-out of vaccines, including to those who are yet to be vaccinated at all or are just on one dose.”
Professor Rowland Kao, a member of the SPI-M advisory committee, speaking in a personal capacity, added: “Light touch measures, especially where these are unlikely to negatively impact people’s livelihoods or cause indirect harm, should be welcome… I do think they would be helpful now.”

I this the the best Sneaky way that Javad can convince the public that it’s NOT the Gov who wants to Implement the Plan B but teh CEO of the now dodgy NHS!?? They are in Cahoot & both read teh same script!! Oh it wasn’t me sergers, it was him! Oh NO it wasn’t, Oh yes it was…. Oh No it wasn’t…. Oh yes It was! this circus has Parrots, Monkeys, Rabbits, magicians, Snake Oil salesmen & oh…. Not to forget the Clown!
I for one, Believe them, Billions wont!
Probably another arsehole on the payroll, awaiting a nomination to be called ‘sir’ if he revs up the fear factor in support of the other arseholes in government.
I don’t remember electing this control freak.
These idiots need to put their own house in order. Every Autumn we have the same whining and yet they do nothing about it.
Personally I’m going to wear a tin hat as it will help protect the NHS and the berks that “run” it. Of course this won’t make any difference but at least I will be doing “something”
Sounds much the same as a face mask
I know looks shouldn’t matter – but what an odd bloke. Anyone else noticed that there isn’t one ‘normal’ looking (let alone good-looking) lead figure in any of this charade? They’re all most peculiar. And they seem to be getting uglier by the day. Is it the evil leeching out?
”Infections have been rising sharply…” = the numbers of tests carried out have been rising sharply.
Covid Crusher: Mix one heaped teaspoon of Iodine table or sea salt in a mug of warm water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If sore, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the soreness goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don’t have any soreness at all, when you flush – job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia there too.
Gargling, using saline solution or tablets is a waste of time, because they deal with Covid in the body and not the virus in the head, where it is at its most vulnerable – how silly such an easy thing to destroy, is left to become the
bio-weapon which kills you.
I have been doing this for over 27 years and not one person has died from this simple cure, or been injured from it from those I… Read more »
NHS chief executives clearly don’t understand that the “vaccines” make severe reactions to a Co-vid infection MORE likely. Can’t beat a Winter cytokine storm! I truly hope I’m wrong, but I expect to see deaths and hospitalisations rocket BECAUSE of the “vaccines”, not in spite of them.
How many of the 49,132 positive tests reported yesterday were from people testing themselves for the second or third time? Perhaps I have it wrong and multiple tests from the same person aredisregarded.
I know it was published in the G, but he should get the sack if he really believes in half the junk that he’s expressing. Much of it seems to go along the lines of ‘it didn’t work, so lets do more of it, and carry on bamboozling the public…..’
Taylor has been well primed by Blair….he was appointed by the latter to be Head of Policy Unit back when the other lot held the reins. (May have already been said on this forum). Blair and Gates are pushing the narrative.
From John Ward’s blog today.
(There is a T channel where German healthcare workers only share their stories. Maybe such a channel would be a good idea for UK ones as well.)
“There was was a 30-year veteran of the emergency services” said one, “a paramedic, whose experience over the last two years duplicates the “Awake Undertaker”: shockingly little death for an “emergency pandemic” last year, where March-April were normally busy, but after May absolutely nothing going on in the hospitals. Then this year growing numbers of odd ailments: heart problems, strokes, lots of weird thrombocytopenia where blood clots in brain happen simultaneous with inability to clot bleedouts elsewhere in the body, resurgent cancers and autoimmune problems that had been in remission. He had just dealt with a 14 yr old girl collapsed with myocarditis, after the jab, of course. He asked if many of her classmates had got the jab “Yes, all of them” she replied. And he confirmed that myocarditis is a permanent condition. He was incredibly interesting.
“He said the emergency services system’s call-outs went from circa 3500 per day to 8400 per day of late. He sees it as fully vaccine-driven and is despairing that colleagues, police,… Read more »

Keith’s measured and succinct take on it, him and the other t*ssers.
72% of deaths (all ages) “with covid” are double tapped.
83% in the 80+ age group.
-109% efficacy in the 40-50 age group.
Somehow they still claim covid death rate per 100,000 is 3x higher in the unvaxxed population. Lying scumbags don’t have much longer left before justice comes for them like a tsunami.
BTL. Some have clung to the notion, we’ve had “1000 years of freedoms” What ever that means or where that comes from I have no idea. The vast majority of land in the UK belongs to a tiny minority, I guess someone was free to give/sell it to them, of course it wasn’t stolen & no one died for it, did they?
Anyhow, my point & yes the above is relevant, since when were we free to take responsibility for our own health. What freedom did/do we have to seek our own medical treatment? Sure the NHS, free healthcare for everyone, was a wonderful socialist concept for those that can’t afford it, but how has that worked out for the public in 2020?
Never forget, the NHS was founded on the notion the average health of a fighting age man wasn’t good enough to fight the next war. The below link is food for thought.
Rescuing Patients from Corrupt, Misguided Hospitals – Dr Vliet w/ Dr. Peter Breggin
Sajid Javid says he wants GPs the see patients face to face.
Low and behold, a few days later the NHS demand return to lockdown and work from home.
Who are you kidding? GPs and militant unions are at the root of this. The shortage of doctors means the government dare not confront them. But confront it must. If GPs wont see patients as normal, they don’t need to be paid £100+K a year and can be replaced by call centres.
So, government, have the balls to tell GPs that if they want their salary and gold plated pension, they have to work normally. Or, if they don’t want that, they can leave.
Yeah, Nah the unions are to busy fighting trans, racism & environmental justice issues to fight the pandemic.
I have the misfortune to receive forwarded emails from my wife’s account, regrettably I often see unison emails, I can assure you they don’t have time to spend on public health issues, trans, BLM & environmental rights take up all their time.
Ironic really leftist unions should advocate for establishment & corporate elites projects.
At what point is it acknowledged that this a seasonal flu like disease not Successive waves and appropriate mitigation measures are put in place. i.e. targeted support for those that want it & increased health care capacity!
These so-called ‘experts’ should have to explain why lockdowns weren’t necessary in Sweden where the outcomes have been little different to anywhere that did lockdown. Leave aside that we still have no proper understanding of how any of the man respiratory aerosol viruses pass through a population infecting some but not others.
And there has never ever been any proof that masks ‘work’ as claimed, or that 6feet is a magical barrier to infection/transmission, and those believing that they should be inflicted on the rest of us should be stripped of any professional qualification that was, clearly, bestowed on them in error. [That they have lost all sense of reason is demonstrated by the ludicrous decision of the CMOs to force consumption of the neurotoxin fluoride industrial waste products by contaminating our public water supplies.]
POWER!
These qunts love it don’t they?
Not content with a nice cushy little job and a ton of money for doing feck all all-day – these power hungry jumped up little dictators would like nothing more than to be able to control and micro-manage every aspect of our daily lives once again – like a man-eating lion that has had the taste of human flesh and comes back for more these power-hungry tyrants have a taste of unlimited power and have loved every minute of it and now they’re back for more. Villagers knew that man-eaters would claim more victims until they hunt the beast down and destroyed it – the very idea of further lockdowns and restrictions must also be completely destroyed before these medical despots cause even more harm and claim even more victims than they did during the first wave of restrictions and lockdowns.
Look into his eyes. What do you see? I see a Liberal technocrat!
How many unlawful house arrests, sorry lockdowns, have there been? How many gallons of the juice have been injected into the nation’s arms? And still idiots like this want to do it over and over again. Anyone would think that there is another agenda at play here, or that this nation is ‘led’ by complete lunatics…
I suggest a plan C: Behead this guy. That’s a light-touch measure to get rid of annoying product placements.
Throughout the entire pandemic to date, 93,558 people have died. That’s 0.13% of the population over two flu seasons. Not sure that’s worth annihilating 1000 years of freedoms. Some perspective is needed, and also some trials.
Especially when the average for a year is 600,000
If you believe that every one of those counted deaths was caused by this new virus.
You have to be watching only the BBC or be spectacularly credulous to believe by this stage that all those deaths are actually attributable to a deadly new coronavirus.
Where does this erroneous nonsense about “1000 years of freedoms” come from?
Let’s go Mathew!
And Boris, Keir, Christina, Rowland, Mark, Neil, Jim&co.

It’s Time to Disobey Covid Mandates – The American Conservative
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/its-time-to-disobey-covid-mandates/
St. Thomas Aquinas describes unjust laws as those laws contrary to the human good, and argues that such laws are not only false laws, but so too acts of violence against the human person which can be disobeyed.
“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
MLK
Yes! I do love that quote! 🙂
Oh, f*ck right off! Who voted you in?!!! I said yesterday there was only ever Plan bloody B! I’m sick to death of being told to “protect the NHS”. The NHS has ALWAYS been run at full capacity, always for the last 20 years we’ve been told It’s about to be overwhelmed! And yet you close the Nightingale Hospitals (remind me again: what WAS their purpose?) and now you threaten to sack staff if they don’t get stabbed with the poison arrow. You’ve had 20 months to prepare for this, you’ve pushed these so-called vaccines on people, making them believe they work but it now appears they do the opposite! You’re a heinous, complicit dog, just like the rest of them!
Until we start looking at who has hi jacked our institutions, it will never end, the politicians are sitting in Parliament seemingly oblivious to it all, while these people demolish the country
I think we know. One of them was sitting comfortably with Johnson just the other night.
They can’t sack the NHS staff, they’d have no control over potential whistle-blowers!
They’ll have to neutralize the threat, a sudden surge in unvaxxed NHS COVID fatalities LOL
Hear hear! Just how thick as pig shit does he think people are to accept such treatment yet again? Well I guess we’ll soon find out. Time to grow a pair, British public, because apathy and inertia have gotten you precisely f*ck all!
“NHS Confederation Chief Executive Matthew Taylor has urged the Government to bring back certain measures, including mandatory face coverings in public places,”
One important aspect of this sort of oral shit is the question of how so many in senior positions in various organisation have got there, given that their pronouncements are transparent fictions, or the output of addled brains.
He’s not working for OUR NHS, he’s working for his Global Federation which is what the NHS has been transformed into, hi jacked.

Germany is seeing excessive occuppancy of its pediatric ICUs since weeks, thanks to those magic masks and that magic vaccine.
Same for excess mortality of the whole population- the government hilariously claimed ignorance and lack of historical data for comparison yesterday when confronted with it.

I’m truly shocked. I was led to believe the jab would work. So, this must be the fault of the refuseniks. Implement Plan F – Final Solution, immediately.
It’s not possible for us all to unite – yet, but we are all connected by a common thread, namely being capable of critical thought.
We are individuals but there are probably between 5- 10 million of us – and that’s not counting the sympathetic amongst the jabbed.
We can all as those individuals do something. Continue to spread the word as often as possible. Ask if they really believe in using kids as human shields. Keep hammering away the fact of superior sterilising immunity conferred by prior exposure and the risks of mrna vaccines – deliberately engineered to moderate your cancer suppressor cells to enable the rna to “work”. Keep trying to get any and all of this in the MSM.
I think they’ve underestimated the maternal instinct when it comes to kids and the big C is always evocative.
Hold the line.
Feels like an attempt to make Plan B sound like a soft/mild option.
Matthew Taylor has transformed the organisation into a global institution, with 30,000 fellows and a high-profile and influential research programme.
Before that he was Chief Adviser on Political Strategy to Prime Minister Tony Blair. The nHS is now a Federation, a political entity and not what the NHS was ever meant to be. This will never get any better unless we can get rid of globalists like this, they don’t care about the people, only about their institutions
That is from the RSA which was his job until last month.
People like this care only about themselves.
He’s an oxygen thief -end of.
Mathew Taylor should be given his P45. He is clearly not up to the job and is threatening the health of the nation as a result of his complete lack of ability to prepare the NHS for the winter. It’s as if he didn’t know winter comes round once a year – every year.
…..err, I might have put my finger on the problem.
Yep P45 it is and bloody sharpish.
