On a dodgy contract!
Safety concerns halt use of 50 million NHS masks
"Fifty million face masks bought by the government in April will not be used in the NHS because of safety concerns.
The government says the masks, which use ear-loop fastenings rather than head loops, may not fit tightly enough.
They were bought for healthcare workers from supplier Ayanda Capital as part of a £252m contract"
"It also emerged that the person who originally approached the government about the deal was a government trade adviser who also advises the board of Ayanda."
Under the terms of the 'emergency legislation' we are living under, no tendering is necessary so corruption is an inevitability.
And there is no parliamentary scrutiny!
"It is not clear what will happen now to the 50 million masks."
Handed back to be sold off to a country with lower standards?
