the government already come in for criticism from the n.h.s. chief for the handling of the pandemic and it appears catto bosses as well so he aimed at the government not just for the response but what they've received is a shift of responsibility thank you very much indeed but to discuss this somehow joined by the general manager of a technology assisting tech company that's cap's correct thank you very much for joining us many health care bosses as we heard there have called boris johnson's comments incensed at but have been taken out of context i think now it's not the time to focus and accuse asians we need to understand that now we face a new reality the pandemic took everybody by surprise and it's not only do you creates a global impact and not only the care homes they care segment has impacted significantly because we need to take care of those seniors and bringing more and more funds would not do that in the true impact will will come by bringing in the konami bring the new methods bring in digital services to secure the same years not only in

n.h.s. with protective gear from abroad despite numerous office from u.k. companies where i spoke to the chief executive of a british clothing firm christopher nipper he told me his firm was more than ready to fulfil the country's p.p.a. requirements within a few days after 10 days of lock down who already made 2 gallons and we supplied thousands of thousands of pounds to 21 different hospitals in the u.k. and i think that's a great solution because it creates jobs in britain and right now with a chance in wanting to boost printed ships and boost improvement this is surely the moment to change the or castle east of the arch huge 238000000000 pound government procurement fund to spend it on british manufacturers to create british jobs what do you derive us i'm sorry has have had to say given everything that you've just said that what you think the government would they want to buy what amounts to overpriced equipment from abroad. it seems to be pointless for me is a gross waste of money think twice if you buy things who are brewed you paint them made abroad and then you whole simpang for those

n.h.s. with protective gear from abroad despite numerous office from u.k. companies and to discuss the shortages and i join by christopher any further the chief executive of clothing firm david neva christopher thank you for talking to us will be u.k. faced a shortage of p.p.a. cheering the 1st outbreak of coronavirus if you have a 2nd then just it will be for head 100 we don't how 2nd outbreak you will be a great shame all to all we've gone through the last 3 months of the serve i think you can't turn to the government turn to british manufacturers to help meet the 2 moms or what's wrong with sourcing p.p.a. from abroad. well it seems to me 2 things that the 1st is that most of the p.p.m. we're talking about protective gowns here is brought in from abroad is single use disposable gowns and i don't know exactly how many they use but my estimation is it's around 55000000 gallons a year no course a ton perhaps during peak oil rig it might be 2 or 3 times that amount and making that is karen's overseas of course burns greenhouse gases pantaloon who run the whole site here now if we were to replace all those with reusable laundry washable cows that are made in the u.k
