You told us all that the NHS were prepared for the outbreak of Covid 19, what has happened?

Think this self serving guy need a dose of reality only because your inept that they are in this position so own your own mess and stop blaming others

Who asked him too this sounds like labour bait.

Just wait for Matt Hancock to be made the scapegoat for the whole of the Government's shambolic response to this pandemic and yet Boris continues to see a rise in his popularity. Words fail me.

He needs to be sent into hospitals day in day out without PPE. His views would change drastically.

Matt Hancock is a heartless MORON. Doesn't know how many NHS staff have died (and doesn't care) Insults front line workers and wont commit to a pay rise for them - he is almost as bad as Priti Patel

Very Trumpesque

MattHancock this shouldn't be a choice that NHS staff have to make. Also, an apology costs nothing. Reiterating that you are making 'Herculean' efforts does exempt you from also addressing the concerns of the many NHS frontline staff still working without adequate PPE PPENow

So we’re now at the point in the crisis where the government refuse to apologise their shortcomings and next it will be blaming everyone else......

It’s not a ‘quest’. It’s their responsibility

Talk about click bait

Apologising wont bring anyone back. Nor it helps half way through an unusual situation.

If you apologise you accept responsibility 🤷🏻‍♀️😡

Morally bankrupt like most Tory mps

It will only be appropriate when they’re all dead which, coincidentally, will also be the appropriate time to offer them a pay rise.

Double down on the dead cat. Straight out of Linton's playbook. Meanwhile, people die needlessly.
