Give them the PPE pronto.. I think PPE should become compulsory for anyone working in the health and care system, not only to be used now against Coronavirus.

nothingtodowithausterity

So now its the public fault for the governments pitiful attempt to manage the problem, sounds like MattHancock latest plan to save the NHS resembles the now discredited murderous 'herding' plan

Oh so PPE shortage is the public's fault now?

Public urges Matt Hancock to do his job and sort out PPE for ALL front line staff and more tests.

Why do I have a feeling we’re all using one mask per day on multiple patients and at the end of all this well have a ton of PPE lying around everywhere 😡 How about we ration when supplies actually get low?

Remember it was first a logistical issue not an issue of supply. It's quite clear the message is 'don't use it properly, we don't have enough'.

Would he preferred they’re underused? I think his delivery of a simple message in such a sensitive time is appalling.

You can't overuse what you dont have

Not overuse 🙄 Come and work with us

That is not what he said at all

But the whole meaning of PPE is personal protection equiptment! You have the resources, you have the companies get more made it's not rocket science!

Now MattHancock is your typical UncleProvocateur TheMashReport MrNishKumar

Will Hancock be going on the frontline armed with a pinny and some marigolds then?

If they did it would help reduce infection's

Yeah... like we’ve actually got any PPE 🤦‍♂️

Who is issuing ppe to the public? Fanny 🙄

Good ...this damn condom is too damn loose. 🤭 ...now come on ...admit it ...you lot thought I was going to say 'tight'

Without daring to be explicit Matt Hancock is suggesting the shortage of PPE is because of wasteful use. He knows the Government has let down thousands of health and care workers.

MattHancock shifting shortages of PPE on the users, disgusting.

Now we know why the public do not wear protective masks..It is not because they don’t protect but because there is a shortage !..

What a load of bollocks

MattHancock public urge you to stop lying

Somebody make a decision....wear it, don't wear it, it works, it doesn't work, it might work, some people should, everybody should, nobody should......

Matt Hancock has issued a record breaking 87 million platitudes to NHS staff with a promise if millions more by the end of the week.

I heard him blame medical staff for not understanding what they're doing and for wasting all the millions of PPE he's sent out. What a rat.

Tories deflecting blame to the public as usual to mask their carelessness in not ordering more sooner. Like in January.

How is it possible to overuse PPE? It's single use double bagged and binned. Also it's shit having to wear it absolutely no one will wear it unnecessarily.

Lol. I'm tired of hearing herd immunity is a conspiracy theory, because this level of deliberate incompetence is unexplainable.

First make sure there's enough Total idiot

Public urges Matt Hancock not to continually promise PPE to healthcare workers while not actually providing it.

Sure, why doesn’t he pop to some hospitals, Shake hands with everyone and tell them the same? 🍿

Doctor who warned Boris Johnson of ‘urgent’ need for PPE dies of coronavirus

Meanwhile in the US they have machines tosterilize 80000 masks per day for reuse. Why can’t we have some?

Didn't he order millions and millions for staff that arrived last week? Oh wait, he was BS again.

Matt Hancock can get fucked.
