'I'd love to be able to wave magic wand on PPE'

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said he"would love to be able to wave a magic wand" to increase supply of personal protective equipment .

"I would love to be able to wave a magic wand and have PPE fall from the sky in large quantities and be able to answer your question about when shortages will be resolved," the health and social care secretary told the committee. He said it was a"global challenge" and the government was doing everything it could to get PPE to front-line workers.There has been mounting criticism from doctors, nurses and care home staff over the lack of face masks and other equipment to protect them when they are caring for infected patients.

And he repeated his pleas for UK companies to come forward to help"the domestic effort" to make protective equipment.
