G-Tec will also have 10,000 new ventilators (another vacuum cleaner manufacturer) to distribute in about a week too.
The tests for CV19 and for the antigen in pin prick,home testing format will also be in circulation starting in about a week.
All British companies
Well, fancy that...
Well, reality caught up with you bread:
Boris Johnson’s “ventilator challenge” to British manufacturers failed to produce significant numbers of the devices in time for the peak of the pandemic, leaving the*NHS*with far fewer than ministers said was necessary.
The prime minister launched his challenge to much fanfare in March, with health secretary Matt Hancock stating at the start of April that the NHS needed “18,000 ventilators” within two weeks, as the peak of the crisis loomed.
But figures released by the Department of Health show that the NHS only had 11,900 mechanical ventilators as of 6 May, when over 600 people a day were dying from Covid-19 – around 7,000 machines short of what ministers said was needed.
Notably, the government’s figures show that just 344 of these new ventilators were produced by the new UK suppliers responding to the challenge, meaning the scheme only delivered a 4 per cent rise in the number of ventilators available before the crisis.
Of the ventilators available to the NHS on 6 May, a further 118 were produced by established UK suppliers, while the bulk of the increase in devices was acquired from elsewhere.
Well fancy that.

We cancelled the orders - we didn't need them. We even closed the nightingale hospitals.

In reality, even now the Department for Health says the total number available to the NHS as of 19 May is still only around 13,000, short of the original promised devices Downing Street claimed would be delivered within “weeks” back in March. Of these, the government says 1,969 were produced by UK manufacturers.
