And if you opened your eyes you would see I apologised and also replied to a relevant post from Rudi Hedman

It"s easily done !

He just said on sky that they have had over 8000 offers of PPE and are looking in to them, no rush i guess!

Ramadan starts on friday. I do hope that people partaking will keep the social distancing after sunset. I beleive that meal times are traditionally huge both in content and attendance. Numbers in 2-3 weeks will be telling.

I haven't heard that rumour and hope that it isn't true as the poor bloke had only been in the job for three months when this all blew up

If heads are going to roll, and I think this is premature as the facts are not yet in, it must also include senior civil servants and advisors. The idea that the Health Secretary on his own is solely responsible for the mistakes doesn't make sense.

It maybe as the senior he has to carry the can but it's about time that those further down the ladder also have accountability.

I would make 2 further points :

1. As far as we can tell the government has followed the expert advice. If that is true and the advice is wrong that needs to be recognised.

2. There appears to be incompetence or inefficiency around testing of NHS staff and procurement of PPE. Somebody is responsible and is supposed to be in charge of this and if they are allowing red tape to gum up the works they need to be held accountable.*

*I was in charge of my department on 2 occasions we had major disasters one of them being 9/11. I identified the blockages preventing business as usual and escalated them to senior management requesting a deviation from normal procedures to unlock these road blocks. I would hope that someone in the NHS / Civil Service is doing the same thing if not why not.
