courtesy of a weather front finally peak demand on the health of this within a week or so within the next pushing its way into the west for the evening, some quite heavy bursts two weeks just after the easter for the rain for a while, rain period. everyone has been focused on extends into northern england but that, is there enough capacity, are was patchy further south, but we there enough care beds, and enough keep that southerly airstream so these are overnight lows with ventilators, visual equipment that figures more typical of our daytime is needed in these beds, and there highs at this point in april. so a has been a row on whether the very mild start to april, the first government had organised for enough ventilators to come into the uk? thing will be pulling across eastern england, it will take a while here for some of the rain to get out of the way, and for a while here instead of a southerly wind we are left with a westerly or exactly, and then an appeal was made south—westerly. try it in the by the government for an company to afternoon, some showers further west but pretty well scattered, the wind go forward and make ventilators. the is lighter than today especially across the southern half of the uk health secretary said there was nine but still quite lusty towards the north—west. but thanks to that or 10,000 ventilators now in the change in wind direction a fresher health service, he said the maximum feel for one day. 11 or 12, perhaps needed would be 18,000 not 30,000 is first speculated, m and he was asked what that would be air in a week, he

18 further south. i should mention behind that weather front for monday we should have some clear the air said something about 13,000, and he was asked if that would be ok, when with less pollen levels for england he was so that would be ok? yes, if and wales to waverley for those who suffer with tree pollen. as we look ahead into the rest of the week the high pressure starts to bulge us 13,000 is ok for the peak demand ahead for much of were europe and why‘d you need the 18,000, there what that will do is introduce much must be a worry about that warmer out across the west of difference. people have said it's scotla nd warmer out across the west of scotland with a weather front coming better to have too many are not into play. so our outlook for the enough, andi week ahead is one featuring a loss better to have too many are not enough, and i think they want to of settled weather, a loss of dry keep a buffer of 2000, i think the weather, a lot of sunshine, and other thing is different parts of the uk might need them at different times, you might need to be able to move them around, considerable anxiety in our health service as there is an all health services and hospitals about what is to come with a number of patients with covid—19. thank you very much. 0ur health editor there. the queen is expected to give "a deeply personal message" when she makes a special address to the nation tonight, stressing the value of self—discipline and resolve during the coronavirus pandemic.
