LONDON - Britain may be wasting nearly 3 billion pounds on contracts for COVID-19 gear that have not given value for money, with millions spent each month storing unneeded and sometimes out-of-date kit, a watchdog said on Wednesday.
But the health ministry, which handles the personal protective equipment supplies, said it had been prudent to have too much rather than too little given the emergency. "The Department is continuing to manage 176 contracts where it believes it may not achieve full value for money, with an estimated 2.7 billion pounds at risk," said NAO chief Gareth Davies.Johnson has said he is proud of what the government did to secure PPE, and the health ministry said it had delivered 19.1 billion items of PPE to keep frontline staff safe.
Who TF cares. We have our own problems
You say wasting like it’s accidental or a mistake or something.
