I don’t understand why the manufacturers are being focused on at all in this article. They delivered what they were contracted to deliver. If there’s any fault it’s the fact that the PPE isn’t being used or sold to somebody who can use it or just being maintained in the stockpile for the future

There should absolutely be an enquiry over the contracts awarded for PPE during the pandemic. It seems to me that some companies with no history of, or experience in, supplying medical gear won multi-million-pound contracts. I’d like to know the basis on which those contracts were awarded.
