MattHancock So yesterday he blamed NHS workers for abusing ppe an now its other countries..excuses..

MattHancock Saying there should of been stock piles for this is like saying every home should have nuclear bunker with 2 years of food in - something’s can’t be planned. If they did buy this stuff instead of using for something else they would get grief. Damned if the do damned if they dont

MattHancock You have around 20000 positive case admitted to hospital not counting community. 20000x10 kits of PPE for 1 person. Imagine number of staff in one shift need PPE and you have to keep changing so you don’t cross contaminate. The number they kept throwing is nothing to what needed

MattHancock See tweet thread by Peter___Ward his pinned tweet, I can't for some reason link it here, has many contributions, showing what has happened, what is happening re PPE , worth a read. Very informative

MattHancock What about potential NHSuk mismanagement? In the words of Hong Kong Phooey “could be” 🇬🇧

MattHancock The excuses I hear daily from Matt Hancock is becoming more and more grating, nurses, doctors, associations in the health sector, said 2/3s of doctors have said there's inadequate PPE resources, are all those people lying? 😳😳 Be honest, it's getting tiring to hear

MattHancock

MattHancock And I'll add this too... Having to lie to millions of people every day must be an exhausting task for the Conservative Party. I wonder if the politicians will suffer more or less than our NHS front-line staff from PTSD?

MattHancock Should get that looked at, sounds painful.

MattHancock Lying arsehole. Enough now...

MattHancock 40% less than we had 6 years ago..... not good enough

MattHancock This prick managed to find some... that could have been used by a health worker

MattHancock We all know it’s the 5G!!! Not a magical bat

MattHancock We should have gone into lockdown immediately, as soon as Italy started posting large numbers of deaths. Unfortunately the economy was more important than lives evidently and still is.

MattHancock Fair enough!

MattHancock This man speaks with a fork tongue.

MattHancock Going into this with a stockpile is one thing but when you placed your order(s) to resupply the stockpile is another matter entirely. It’s very easy to distract the media from the question asked it seems...🤷‍♂️

MattHancock Isn’t it strange that no hospitals nor nhs trusts are mentioned on the shortfall as some doctors etc say they have plenty ... in future name the hospital or shut up

MattHancock This is absolutely disgusting IMHO. Why, why, restock the stockpile before passing out much-needed crisis PPE? I can't make any sense of this at all.

MattHancock

MattHancock If there were stockpiles then the current shortages to frontline workers are unforgivable.

MattHancock Out of DATE + CONTAMINATED

MattHancock Too late right across the board in every area of the response.
