“I could have delivered necessary equipment to pharmacies around the country weeks ago.”
that pharmacists are key health care professionals entitled to PPE. But as of last week the wholesalers that pharmacies have been asked to go through have continued to be out of stock of key supplies, a senior industry insider told BuzzFeed News.
But the government insists it has more than enough PPE to serve its healthcare workers, and it is not clear whether its challenge is finding key items or distributing them to those who need it. At the government’s daily press briefing on Friday, Hancock said delivering PPE across the country was a “herculean logistical effort”. The health secretary reaffirmed that “there's enough PPE to go around” and said it had been an “enormous challenge”, but that 742 million pieces of protective gear had been delivered so far. “There’s clearly a huge task ahead to keep it flowing and to make sure those who need it, get it,” he added.
The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, which launched a competition for PPE on 1 April, said it was only gathering information on the marketplace."This was an information gathering exercise by the Trust to discover suppliers who may be able to supply and/or manufacture PPE should we need additional supplies in the future,” a spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. The trust said it currently had no shortfalls in supply and has a steady stream coming in.
