Until you start releasing "ALL our front line staff have ALL the PPE they require to carry out their jobs safely" these tweets are a load of bollocks.

Keep them coming please. The need is urgent and ongoing. Question: Are we still in need of ventilators? I will discuss this with @ProfKarolSikora & colleagues as before contacting the manufacturer overseas I need definitive information about the requirements present & future.

Why are the Army withdrawn from delivering PPE now that we know how much is needed in Community and Care Homes?

Not nearly enough PPE between 179 trusts where each trust may have multiple hospitals! And where are the FFP3 masks?! And the gowns?! And the scrubs?! 250,000 surgical masks will last mere moments in 1 trust alone! Look after the people who are looking after you!!! 😡

There are still shortages. My local hospital is begging locals for help!!
When you say gloves I assume you mean a pair counts as two to inflate the numbers? Are we now suggesting that our NHS workers only water one glove?

Pravda would be proud, months late
if these numbers are true it still isnt enough these will run out fairly fast
Please explain why community pharmacy teams are the only part of the NHS who has to purchase our own PPE and pay for it ourselves

What Percentage is that, of what you need over the time period until the next delivery? Are you guaranteed/ing that none of the stock is out of date?
Raining cats and dogs today.

Such a tragedy ! An 85 year old lady after dialysis left in the A&E for 13 hours without food of drink !!! This is the treatment meted out to a lady who worked for the NHS all her life !
The landfill is scattered with unopened boxes of the stuff

And I work in a GP practice that dont have any! 🤔🤔
NHS is useless. The facilities , care and just about everything is better in places like Thailand. What a joke. Your ineptitude and inability to work within a budget that is quite staggering has cost thousands and thousands of lives .

Dont suppose any of these went to Welsh hospitals and Welsh care homes ???
👏 but the horse has already bolted. 10yrs of cuts. No pay rises and £20 billion of cuts. Shame on you
Is that 10 Million pairs of gloves?
NHS approach to paediatric dental..... Ignore referrals and appointments until the children are adults!!! #WTF
