Fair enough! I don't disbelieve you, but I doubt if your company provides more than a fraction of what the NHS needs. Quite honestly, I find you very defeatist. Of course there's a global shortage, so do you think the government should just hold up its hands and say "sorry, nothing we can do". Shame a few thousand people are dying, but that's how it is"?
Firstly, there needs to be honesty about the shortages, not denials.
Secondly, there has been enough time since the UK knew there was going to be a crisis to order factories to change production lines. We do have the manufacturing capacity to do that, if there were a will.
Hopefully, the new procurement "tsar" will be able to co-ordinate and kick a few backsides into action, without interference from the schoolkids currently running the show.
