Hundreds of doctors to sue NHS because government PPE failings gave them Long Covid
One MORE time: the PPE used in UK hospitals is pictured bottom right. Hundreds of doctors are now suing the UK government because they say they contracted Long Covid due to the inadequacy of the PPE they were provided.
In a sane country, wouldn’t this be enough reason for a government to take action to recover the millions (billions?) of pounds it wasted on useless Personal Protective Equipment during the Covid-19 crisis?
Hundreds of doctors plan to sue the NHS, claiming a lack of proper PPE left them disabled with Long Covid.
The case centres on an NHS diktat to downgrade the level of masks when the virus took hold. Staff were only required to wear blue surgical masks, plastic aprons and gloves.
They claim they are facing financial ruin and that authorities should have known they were being placed at risk.
The government could recoup a huge amount of money, just by taking action to claw back the money wasted on inadequate PPE.
For example: what about the £203 million given to PPE Medpro, the company pushed through the illegal Tory VIP lane for contracts by Michelle Mone, who’s said to have profited by £65 million from the deal?
That could provide a million quid in compensation for more than 200 doctors with Long Covid.
And its just the tip of the VIP lane iceberg.
Why does the public purse always have to pay for the profligate failures of the government?

Fascist tories don’t care that hundreds of doctors will sue the NHS because they won’t be the ones having to pay expensive lawyers to defend their fascist criminal acts during the pandemic!
I predict this civil case will take years to be resolved and our money will be wasted by whichever government is in power. The greedy fascist tory fake government still hasn’t recovered the billions of pounds given to fake companies during the pandemic!
