No one is counting the number of nurses that have died from Covid-19!
What about other NHS staff?
Porters? Cleaners? Admin?
This is sickening!

The fact @MattHancock doesn't even realise that nurses who are sadly losing their lives to #Covid19 are not being recorded is really very, very upsetting.

A bit worrying that the health secretary doesn't know how many nurses have died.
