Japan's two emergency medical associations also issued a joint statement warning that they were "already sensing the collapse of the emergency medical system".
And the mayor of Osaka appealed for people to donate their raincoats, so they could be used as personal protective equipment (PPE) for health workers whom he said were being forced to fashion PPE out of rubbish bags.

And people here think the situation is bad with PPE. Japan has one tenth the cases of UK and still struggling.

Perhaps Hancock can go there to lead their effort.

So are you saying NHS frontline staff shouldn't complain because it could be worse ... the inadequacies of this Government; its preparedness and the decisions by Johnson (or lack of) have been laid bare by the Coronavirus

It is a big logistics task geordie. Something no one has ever had to do before. Some places are hoarding whilst others running out. Hence the local issues. The planners clearly need to redouble their efforts but remember world over there are the same problems.

No sane person is doubting that securing the volumes of required PPE is a herculean task.
And there is little doubt that some of the criticism is not particularly helpful. However, all activities require to be reviewed. Undertaking a reflective process is how you recognise areas where you can improve current and future performance. And part of that reflective process is being willing to acknowledge that some of the actions taken were not the best actions that could have been taken. Some of that will be purely hindsight, but some of it will be a recognition that the best use of available resources was not made and that the decision making process was always not optimal. It's basic QMS stuff, P-D-C-A and all that. Projecting a narrative that every action you have taken has been the best that could have been taken is not helpful and suggests that a continual improvement culture is not in place. |

That is a balanced approach that suggests giving the NHS and government some slack on this in times we have never seen before.
Not sure how you plan for this without having thousands of hospital beds with unused ventilators with PPE going out of date that we spend billions maintaining. Last situation like this was 100 years ago and the public was not screaming on Twitter back then. You can bet the same people complaining now about not locking down early enough and not spending enough will complain when the cuts come in due to our trashed economy. |
