We’re supposed to ignore all this and rally together though
Funny how people want unity when it suits deflection. |  |

Every other country in the world has an overflowing supply of PPE and ventilators. Every other country was fully prepared for this. It's scandalous. |  | | |

Austerity it is then! Did you even read the article. Public spending was clobbered in Spain and Italy too thinking about it. |  |

Still it's a good job we made our preparations even more difficult by reducing our stocks in the run up then.
I haven't at all seen nearly a dozen NHS employees in hospital(and those are just the ones I know about) over the past week because what we have now is poor quality and clearly last-resort sourced. |  |

I mean, you could be a dick about this, or you could accept that it looks very much like austerity has played a part in our lack of preparedness for this.
Up to you really mate. |  |

I don’t think people are saying ignore all this.
I have maintained that we need to look into all this when it’s all said and done. Learn lessons, move forward with a greater focus on people, communities, and the NHS.
The companies that are treating people like rubbish now, the airlines asking for bailouts, the banks trying to make a quick buck by offering their loans not the government loans, these are the ones we need to avoid.
Coming out on the other side is going to be difficult. We are going to have to dig deep and help each other through this more than ever before.
The financial crash is going to look easy compared to what we have to come I think. |  |

What we need to get through the other side is a f*cking lot of socialism. Which is going to be hard for a lot of the “I’m alright Jack” bunch to take in.
If all else fails we can set fire to the super rich and redistribute their wealth. | |

The key (unanswered) question is how the volume of stock has changed over time as the value can be impacted by falling prices and greater procurement effectiveness.
We know that the NHS under Simon Stephens has invested significantly in its procurement operations so you would reasonably expect them to replace stock more cheaply than the original purchase price.
EDIT: Speaking to someone earlier, they also pointed out that the way stock is valued in the NHS accounts can change over time even if the stock remains the same. This could be due to changes in the rules generally but also how the value is adjusted to reflect shelf life. [Post edited 12 Apr 2020 18:10]

It's an accountancy thing.
Your stock is an asset and is part of how you value a company. You get tax allowances. This seems daft when it's a government owned enterprise.
You may be aware that people are now 'valued'.
The Department of Transport won't put in a pedestrian crossing at an accident black-spot until there have been enough deaths to warrant it. |  |
