Nightingale hospitals were a very high profile easy capital spend to try and give some positive PR and demonstrate something was being done, in reality they could never operate due to staffing and supply chain resources.
It is being repeated with Nightingale Courts. Government are blaming Covid for a backlog of cases, when in reality there were already tens of thousands of delayed cases due to the number of courts which have been closed over the last ten years. Covid has added an extra few thousand.
Opening Courts for longer hours doesn't increase the number of staff. I read yesterday of one case which was adjourned last week and relisted for a date in 2023!
