Not been any national shortage of PPE. Putting the facts straight or rewriting history? |  |

We downgraded the PPE requirements for dealing CoVid so we didn't run out of PPE altogether
Another fib from the Tories, quelle surprise [Post edited 10 Jun 2021 14:30]

From a certain point of view there wasn’t a shortage of PPE.
Fit for purpose PPE though is another argument entirely…… |  | | |

Whereas on 23rd March 2020 Hancock said
"There have been challenges and I can see that. We're on it and trying to solve all the problems."
So, what were these 'challenges', if not shortages ? | | | |

So long as there was anywhere that didn't have a shortage, then he can hide behind there not being a 'national' shortage.
It is classic politicial speak.
By any fair mind he is being misleading, but the semantics of his position is carefully thought out and he will hide behind it. |  |

There was plenty. As long as you ignore the fact that he instructed NHS England to severely downgrade the guidelines for what constituted adequate PPE.
Over 850 healthcare workers are believed to have died of Covid-19. |  |

My sister is a nurse in the UK. At the start of the pandemic they were told to only use full PPE for patients with confirmed Covid. One of her colleagues contracted Covid and died. How is that not death by neglect? | |

On the wards, 'full' PPE was officially defined as 'gloves, plastic apron, visor, surgical(nor FFP3) mask'. In January of this year. Only if you were running an AGP or in ITU(or one or two other areas) did you get full access to ffp3 level gear in quantity. | |

Neglect requires deliberate action. Something the government were not guilty of, as Hancock has told us, whereas
"50m masks that were later deemed unsuitable for use by NHS workers"
The £252m medical supplies contract was awarded to Ayanda Capital, which describes itself as specialising in currency trading, offshore property, private equity and trade financing.
In a legal letter to EveryDoctor and the Good Law Project, the government acknowledged that millions of masks were unsuitable and also revealed that the initial approach to the government was made by Andrew Mills, an adviser to the international trade secretary, Liz Truss.
Based on incomplete Whitehall figures, the Good Law Project and EveryDoctor estimate the 50m masks would have cost more than £150m of public money.
To any reasonable person, this stinks of incompetence brought on by corruption in awarding contracts to those whose only reason for being awarded the contract was a very close connection to a minister.
" Our High Court hearing is now over. Over the course of five days we’ve heard how companies with political connections jumped the queue to win lucrative PPE deals and that hundreds of millions of pounds of public money was wasted on PPE that couldn’t be used by the NHS.

Ordering nurses to treat patients without correct PPE is a 'deliberate action'. | |
