The head of an NHS trust has asked for a British fashion company to step in and help him source personal protective equipment for his staff.
An unnamed boss in southern England fears his staff will soon run out of hospital gowns, amid widespread concerns around the supply of PPE in NHS hospitals, according to the BBC. The man, who wished to remain anonymous, phoned the broadcaster’s business reporter Simon Browning and asked for the factory phone number of Burberry, which has turned over its production to make PPE for healthcare workers.
BBC Radio 4 reported that the man said his staff will run out of gowns this weekend and described Health Secretary Matt Hancock’s denial of a PPE shortage across the UK as a ‘fantasy’.Workers make equipment for the NHS at the Fashion Enter factory in north London last week Burberry is among a list of labels including Barbour, Louis Vuitton and Philip Treacy to have pledged to manufacture equipment crucial to fighting Covid-19.
I wonder what they charge per gown 😳
Strange how they are always 'unnamed' isn't it.
Unnamed boss....
Calling bollocks on that. Instead of calling my contact at Health England, I'm going to call the BBC (only to ask for contact details as I'm too incompetent to use Google) but I want to remain anonymous of course as I know my actions won't stand scrutiny. Absolute cobblers.
Why Burberry Surly there's thousands of clothing companies they could contact?!
