Convert grounded aircraft into mini wards and use their oxygen systems to provide breathing air to those with COVID19. They already have beds in first and business classes, and then lots at seats in economy and a oxygen system ready to use and an APU generator for power. They are also in hubs all around the world, with plenty of isolation at airports and hotels near by for beds for staff.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions on suitable hospital facilities are for the NHS rather than the UK Government or Parliament.
