Over the past year, the Government has wasted more than £2 billion on personal protective equipment (PPE) that could not be used in the NHS. The figure is five times higher than initial official estimates and still under-estimates the true cost. The Sunday Telegraph has the story.
Some 2.1 billion items of PPE have so far been deemed unfit to keep doctors and nurses safe in clinical settings – with 10,000 shipping containers-full still to be unpacked as of May this year, said the Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
The amount of unusable kit is five times higher than the number estimated by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in January, said the select committee, which monitors public expenditure.
The wasted sum forms part of the estimated £372 billion spent by the U.K. on pandemic-containing measures which will expose taxpayers to “significant financial risks for decades to come”, the cross-party committee warned in two reports published on Sunday.
MPs say they “remain concerned that despite spending over £10 billion on supplies, the PPE stockpile is not fit for purpose” with potential levels of waste “unacceptably high”.
As of May this year, out of 32 billion items of PPE ordered by the DHSC, 11 billion had been distributed, while 12.6 billion pieces are on standby at a cost of around £6.7 million a week in storage, the PAC said.
Some 8.4 billion pieces on order from around the globe have still not arrived in the U.K.
For excess PPE that is suitable for medical use, MPs said they are concerned the Government is “yet to create any robust plans for repurposing and distributing this essential stock in a way which ensures value for money and protects staff and patients”.
A public inquiry scheduled to start next spring into the Government’s handling of the pandemic will not come swiftly enough to ensure lessons are learned, the PAC added.
Ministers also risk undermining public trust by failing to swiftly publish the full details of contracts awarded, the report said.
The PAC noted that details of three-quarters of the 1,644 contracts over £25,000 awarded up to the end of July last year were not made public within the 90-day target.

I still can’t work out if the decision to mass vaccinate with barely tested experimental gene therapies was a result of:
Mass formation psychosis,
Big Pharma corruption,
or
Depopulation agenda
among health officials and their mainstream media lackeys.
Regrettably they’re not mutually exclusive.
All of the above plus knock out the standing army in time for the UN one to take over unopposed.
The decision to mass vaccinate US fighting forces–knowing the risks from the little testing done beforehand–indicates purposeful military decimation (correct use of term here, I believe) and crippling of the US. Did any other country require its military members to take the experimental jabs?
British Army told the soldiers to have the jab. Soldiers are trained to follow orders…. Very few refused from my sources who have links to the military.
Interesting latest ‘stack on excess mortality from Igor;
”In the Covid-vaccine skeptic world, many opponents of Covid vaccines suggest that vaccines cause deaths via various direct mechanisms. (“spike protein slowly kills heart” or some such)
They may partly be right; however, such a straightforward explanation does not explain great month-to-month variations in death rates.
I claimed that excess mortality associated with Covid vaccines is mediated via transmissible illnesses such as Covid-19 or the flu, causing more deaths in Covid-vaccinated or boosted people.”

Sadly an awful lot more people are going to die before their time or be injured by these wretched injections. Among them commercial airline pilots who seem to dropping like flies. There’s lots of info out there on this but here’s one Substack to check out below.. just awful tragedies..

Here’s another.. Dr Ana’s Newsletter.. she’s been homing in on the nano-technology side of these jabs, and the attempts to cover this up. She makes for very interesting/frightening reading indeed. What’s been going on is very real indeed. Mind blowing technology is being put into use after decades of planning..

We have to hope the likes of Senators Johnson, Rand Paul and Robert Kennedy Jnr win their campaign. And the American people can sue the guilty people for £billions.
Our own useless, cowardly, Ostrich-MPs won’t even listen to Andrew Bridgen.
