| NYS Nurses Association calls for independent investigation after State nursing home report |
| 2020-07-13 |
| h/t Instapundit [06 News] - On July 6th, the State Department of Health released a report, that found the spread of coronavirus in New York nursing homes was a result of infected staff members, not a controversial March policy enacted by the governor's desk. "We investigated ourselves and thoroughly cleared ourselves of any wrong-doing, bad judgement or wrongthink. We are therefore giving ourselves promotions and raises" In response to the findings of the report, the New York State Nurses Associations released a statement, which reads in part: "This statement does not reflect the experiences of frontline nurses of the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) who throughout were pointing at critical shortages of personal protective equipment and calling for widespread testing in order to guide New York’s response to the virus since the onset of this pandemic." The statement continues, recapping NYSNA's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, before calling for an independent investigation of the practices within nursing homes: "New Yorkers deserve a full accounting of what happened over the past four months, and the NYSDOH nursing home report, unfortunately, does not move us forward. The need is plain for a comprehensive, independent review of nursing home practices, the role of for-profit operators, and NYSDOH oversight." |
