Hundreds of beds bought for Covid Nightingale wards being sold for £6 each
Hundreds of beds bought for Covid Nightingale wards during the pandemic are being sold for £6 each - despite being originally costing £2500.
Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner said: “The public deserves the truth about what’s been sold off and why. Ministers must come clean over their role in giving the green light for a fire sale of beds.” But the Mirror can reveal that in February 2021 NHS Procurement offered members of the Care Provider Alliance cut-price surplus Oska emergency acute beds. Its note read: “These beds were bought for £2,500 each...they are as new and unused and available for 50% of the purchase price...the beds are available in batches of five – 100 per customer...greater discounting considered for large orders.
In sales on July 26 and August 1, auctioneers Simon Charles of Stockport, Cheshire, sold 47 Oska hospital beds, with three model variants – including the two identified in the NHS Procurement note – fetching £6 to £17 each.
